Figure Drawing Level2 Print E-mail

arm_figure

Instructor: Holly McWilliams

The key to successful figure drawing is to learn how to observe and draw what you actually see. Join me in this 4-day workshop to learn how to observe the interplay of form, value, mass and line. Through various sketching techniques, using a live nude model in the studio, you will receive all the secrets to producing a fluent and dynamic figure drawing.

  • Figure Drawing Level1 is not a must but this workshop is designed for those with intermediate experience.

Here are the basics that we will need for the class. There are going to be some classes where we will experiment with different types of paper so everyone can purchase that on the day of the class.
