Class Description: Figure Drawing Clothed Models

 

Come join in on the fun and challenge of working with the figure. In this class you will work with a clothed live model drawing various poses while learning the figures proportions, using comparing lines, plum lines, center lines and values. The instructor will present and demonstrate each lesson as well as provide individual help as you draw. Working with the figure is a great way to train your artistic skills.
