This figure drawing class offers the opportunity to gain a more indepth understanding of foreshortening of the human figure. Through use of specific measuring techniques and anatomical rythmes we will learn to solve the unique problems presented by the foreshortened figure. Exercises will be done primarly from the live model in poses ranging from 20 mins to 3hrs, with occasional studies done from handouts. Instructor demonstration and critiques will be standard.

  • NOTE: Watts Atelier 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.)
  • 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.
