This figure drawing class offers students the opportunity to work from a professional live, nude model while building strong observational and technical skills. Poses will begin with short gestures and gradually progress into longer, sustained poses, allowing students to develop both speed and accuracy in their drawings.
Class sessions include demonstrations, guided practice, and one-on-one critique. Instruction focuses on a classical realism approach, helping students strengthen their understanding of proportion, structure, and form.
Students will learn the fundamentals of figure drawing and create multiple drawings throughout the course that reflect their growing confidence and skill.
There will be a one-hour break for stretching and refreshment during class, so please remember to bring a lunch or snack.
