Workshop | Basics of Figure Drawing

Every artist's ability to draw the human figure is based on the study of its anatomy and the analysis of its form. When you are able to draw as your eyes see, you can go farther and allow yourself certain creative freedoms!

This course will explore beginner artistic anatomy through observationally drawing a clothed model. Principles and elements of drawing such as negative/positive relationships, articulation of figure in space, proportion, and gestural drawing will be covered, as well as emphasis on light, shadow, and contour line techniques. The model will change poses as a warm up, and then end with a longer pose.

Regardless of your starting level, this class is tailored to beginners and paced to accommodate individual skill levels and styles of work. All materials will be provided, but students are welcome to bring their own materials based on what they work with.

All Materials provided, but students are encouraged to bring any medium they wish to draw with. The workshop fee does include a model fee. There are 10 spots available.

** In the event of a cancellation more than seventy two (72) hours prior to the event date, the applicant will receive a refund of the ticket fee. No refund will be given if less than seventy two (72) hours notice of the cancellation is given.
