Class Description

Description

In the figure drawing classes, you will be able to draw or paint a professional nude live model. We recommend participating in the figure drawing sessions, no matter your skill level. Our instructors will show you techniques to make the human figure more approachable and help you draw the figure in easy steps.

The poses range from sitting, standing, and reclining.

There is a model fee of $10. Materials are not included.

The Foundation Drawing Workshop is a recommended prerequisite before attending Live Model sessions.

For the live model sessions on Saturdays, instead of a live model, we will post an image of a nude that everyone will be able to work off of and follow along with the proposed technique.
