Draped Figure Drawing: 3-6 Hour Poses
Class | This class is completed
We will learn how to manage the figure clothed and posed, learning the fundamentals of how to stage the figure underneath for better perspective and overlapping of the major body forms. Costumes will range from medieval armor to the 1940's and we will do a couple of two week drawings as well. Frequent demonstrations and critiques of student work are routine.
- NOTE: Watts Atelier now carries the supplies you will need for class! Students may purchase supplies before class by completing a purchase form and giving it to their instructor.
- Supplies listed below.
- Charcoal pencils (get quite a few to start with) Conte1710: B (gold with black shaft)
- Single-edged razor blades (1 box)
- Sanding pad (small wood handle with sheets of sandpaper on it.)
- Kneaded eraser
- Pad of 18"x24" SMOOTH Newsprint (recommended brands: Pro-Art)
- Clip board (standard board that will hold an 18"x24" pad.)
- Pad of 18"x24" tracing paper
- Note: Do not leave Newsprint in warm places or where the sun will hit it (i.e. car, window, etc.) It will warp and wrinkle! Also, you'll want to get a small cigar sized box for supplies to be transported in.
