This figure drawing class invites students to develop their skills while working from a professional live model. Poses will begin with short gestures and gradually progress into longer, sustained poses, helping students build both speed and accuracy in their drawings.
Class sessions include demonstrations, dedicated model time, and one-on-one critique. Instruction is grounded in a classical realism approach, supporting the development of strong observational skills, proportion, and form.
Students will learn the fundamentals of figure drawing and create multiple drawings throughout the class, building confidence and refining their technique over time.
