Through careful observation of the model and the development of a conceptual framework for working with the figure, this class provides a fresh perspective applicable to all of our artistic endeavors. We will aim to stay expressive and loose, while looking closely at anatomical and structural factors. Each session includes instructor demonstrations, specific exercises, one-on-one instruction and casual group critiques.

  • Tuition includes model fees
  • Drawing pencils, soft grades (3B-9B) and kneaded eraser
  • AND/OR:
  • Vine charcoal, soft, and a piece of chamois for erasing
  • Sketch pad 18” X 24” (preferably not newsprint) - Canson Biggie is a good one.
  • OPTIONAL:
  • A few sheets of charcoal paper or other toned and/or textured paper such as watercolor paper, for longer poses and portraits.
