2 Day Figure Drawing Intensive

In-Person Workshop | Available

ANYONE can learn to draw! This two day figure drawing workshop welcomes people of ANY skill level. It acts as an introductory overview to the figure drawing method at ARA Boston, beginning with a very simple line drawing all the way to a fully rendered figure. Model will be nude. The first day will begin with a brief lecture and demo. Students will then begin to work on what is called a construct. By the end of the first day, students can expect to have a fully detailed line drawing, setting them up nicely for value on day two. The second day will going over value and light logic, and how we use it to build form. By the end of the day students can expect to leave with a complete understanding of our approach to figure drawing and rendering. John’s teaching method includes one on one critiques, and demos, where necessary. The workshop will be done in charcoal.

Model fee included.

John Asimacopoulos

John Asimacopoulos started as a student at the Academy of Realist Art Boston in September 2015, after making the decision to switch from a medical career to pursue an artistic one. His studies did not go to waste though, as they gave him knowledge, and appreciation of the human body, especially through his study of anatomy, which included dissection. John applied what he learned, and started teaching artistic anatomy, and figure drawing at the school in 2018. He graduated from the school in 2021.


He has won numerous awards, including two Art Renewal Center scholarships in 2017, and 2019, the John F. and Anna Lee Stacey Scholarship Fund in 2017, the Head Start Student Competition in 2017, and second place in the Richeson Still Life & Floral Competition in 2021. He has been involved in group shows at Bowersock Gallery in Provincetown, and the Portsmouth Music and Arts Center. He has also juried for the 3rd Annual Northeast Fine Arts Exhibition in 2021.


He is currently working on a series of narrative paintings exploring the theme of transformation.
