10 week Figure/Portrait Drawing Classes

Develop your observational drawing skills in this hands-on studio class. Working from a live, clothed or nude model, and portraits you will explore proportion, gesture, light, and form through practice.

These aren't traditional drawing lessons—they're creative sessions where we experiment and discover together. We will be there to guide and facilitate, and you'll also find others in the room with various levels of experience who are eager to support. No prior drawing experience needed—just bring your curiosity and openness to try new things.

You will need to bring your own supplies. Please note that if you are painting do not bring chemicals into the space. We do not have sufficient ventilation.

Clean up: if you are using oil paints, please bring your own rags to clean your brushes.

Winter series consists of 2 models, 5 weeks each, 1 pose for the 5 weeks we work together.  You will work with materials of your choice.

Suitable for all skill levels, from beginners learning basic proportions to advanced students refining their technique.

What to bring: Drawing pad (18"x24" recommended), charcoal pencils, graphite pencils (2B-6B), kneaded eraser, blending stumps. I have enough easels to share.
