Learn the basics of classical figure drawing from the live model. In this course, we will focus on gesture, comparative measurement and how to create block-ins, which are the foundation of all representational drawings. There will be demos, Q&A sessions as well as in-depth personalized critiques of student work. We will start with short gestures and work our way up to one day poses. Male and female models will be nude and students must be at least 18 years of age.
