Figure Drawing and Painting in Watercolor with Marc
Adult Classes | Available
Explore the art of capturing the human figure through the expressive and fluid medium of watercolor. In this class, Marc will guide students through the fundamentals of figure drawing—proportion, gesture, and form—while introducing techniques unique to watercolor such as layering, transparency, and color blending.
Students will work from a variety of references, which may include live models, photographs, or instructor-led demonstrations. The focus will be on observation, movement, and translating the figure into loose, painterly compositions.
Suitable for all levels, this class encourages experimentation and helps students develop confidence and a personal approach to painting the figure in watercolor.
