Develop skills that will allow you to convey accurate proportions of the human figure. Begin by drawing in graphite and charcoal, then move into oil painting, which is great for exploring volume and fluidity. We’ll discuss paint and color mixing, mediums and application technique.

  • Previous drawing and painting experience is recommended. You will draw from live, nude models during this class.
  • Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
