Bringing Life to Figure Drawing

Description

Thursdays, March 5, 12, 19 and 26, 2015   6:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Through the use of a live model we will study the human form to create greater likeness, more accurate proportion, depth and volume through tonal values, as well as liveliness in our drawings. Instruction is both group-oriented and tailored to students’ personal interests and skill levels, with one-to-one attention for each student. Demos will be included. The class environment will be encouraging, positive, and energetic. Students will leave with skills to continue figure drawing on their own.

Participants receive a 20% discount on these supplies:

2B pencil, sketchbook (at least 8x10"), vine charcoal, charcoal pencil  AND while charcoal pencil, utility knife for sharpening, brown craft paper or neutral-coloured paper (pad, about 18x24”), kneaded eraser AND white eraser
