Wave Maker Workshop 006: Nude Figure Drawing w/ Lela Barclay De Tolly

House of Waves presents of sixth Wave Maker Workshop with Nude Figure Drawing led by local artist Lela Barclay De Tolly.
Lela is an artist of many mediums who fell in love with figure drawing during her time as an undergrad student at RISD. She took intensive nude figure drawing courses which opened her eyes to the possibilities of the endless art that can be made once you have a true understanding of the human body. Nude figure drawing has been a tool in training artists of all kinds since the renaissance and before. Drawing from a live model will help inform your knowledge of the human body in ways that a photograph could not, ultimately helping to improve your skills in painting, photography, sculpture, furniture and more!

The drawings you will create can have a huge range of outcomes from loose, expressive or abstract sketches to highly detailed and anatomically correct. The workshop will help you capture the human form in an expression that feels right for you. These drawings can be admired alone or can be studies for future projects. Each participant will be given a large drawing book, charcoal, an eraser and a board to support your book so you can continue to draw from real life, wherever that may be. We will start the class with multiple short poses to create gestural drawings and then will move on to longer poses where we can really dig in and add details. This course is helpful for building all drawing skills regardless of experience. All are welcome from first time drawers to seasoned pros!

Class is 6-8PM with all materials and concessions provided.
