A Beginner Skill Building 6-week series where all experience levels are welcome—for those that have drawn from life before, there will be a lot of emphasis on practice and plenty of time spent drawing. If you have never drawn from life, or feel very rusty, you will also be supported by individualized instruction and practical tips for drawing from life. Exploratory gesture work will be the main focus of this class, gradually moving towards longer poses. Students will be exposed to a variety of mediums and techniques that will encourage loosening up, experimenting, and “feeling” your way through your drawing. There will be discussions of various approaches to figure drawing and a few slide shows featuring historical and contemporary figurative work.
