Tuesday Evenings from April 14th – April 28th

6:00–8:30pm

For anyone interested in learning to draw observationally from the model. Previous art experience is not required to join this class, though students with no experience might be more comfortable in the class Learn to Draw from Life. The content of the workshop will be calibrated to your group's learning goals!

Learn a variety of techniques and approaches in figure drawing, taught by an academy-trained artist and teacher in a welcoming and inclusive setting. In this class we'll work on proportions, movement, and accuracy through the study of live models.

3-Class Series for $100

(Need financial accommodation? Contact me to ask about class scholarships!)

Basic materials and supplies will be provided at no additional cost to participants. All three classes will feature live models, whose fees are included in the cost of the course.

The studio space for this workshop is unfortunately not ADA Accessible; there is one flight of stairs up into the workshop space. (Want to take a class but need an accessible venue? Please contact me directly and we'll explore possibilities!)
