Students learn a variety of drawing techniques as they sketch from works of art in the galleries.
They study the effects of light and become adept at mixing and choosing colors. Experimenting with water-soluble colored paint sticks, participants learn to control pictorial space and convey light. Life Drawing Artists throughout history have found inspiration in the human form. Students in this class develop a basic understanding of anatomy, figure structure, and proportion by sketching live models. Using pencil, charcoal, and pastels in loose sketching and drawing exercises, participants gain a strong foundation in the fundamentals of life drawing.
