2-DAY WORKSHOP – May 24 & 25, 2025 | 9 am – 4 pm
Learn to draw the human figure from the inside out by learning the structure of the body, identifying the major masses and how they relate to each other, observing bony landmarks, conceptualizing the view from the reverse side, and practicing drawing techniques designed to portray the body with form and dimension. Whether you are drawing from a live model for the first time, or have experience with this incredibly beneficial practice, this is your chance to level up your skills.
In this course, we will use traditional drawing materials and work with nude models.
