Drawing the Figure (January Session)
Drawing the Figure (January Session)
CLASS MEETS SATURDAYS, 10am to 12pm, running January 4 through February 8.
Let's dig into the human figure!
Drawing the figure well involves knowledge about how the masses of the ribcage and pelvis drive the motion of the rest of the body. We'll cover the major parts of the body and how they move, what their masses look like, and how best to capture them.
Our first four sessions will be devoted to a primer on the forms of the body and studying historical examples of figure drawing, as well as introducing the toned paper method of figure drawing. The last two sessions will involve a live figure model to practice from.
This is an in-studio class. Class tuition includes a model fee of $75. Materials list will be sent out closer to the start of the class.
I hope you will join me to study in a calm and kind environment, and build your skills in depicting the human figure, considered the pinnacle of the artist’s craft.
