This session isn’t just for figure drawing either – sculptors are welcome!
Beginners are welcomed to come to learn basic foundational techniques, and more advanced participants are encouraged to use this time to work with a model as best suits their needs. Whether it’s proportion, anatomy, value, or atmosphere, the instructor will provide constructive feedback to help participants get the most out of this class. Each session will focus on long poses, 10–15-minute poses, and proportions, use of paper/material, how to measure/scale the body, and perspective. Third Thursday of the month 6-8pm !

Practice makes perfect—the tricky part of making is not always the “how to” but sometimes just the “when.” Ensure time is taken each week to work from the figure. This open-figure studio provides a safe and social atmosphere in which to work independently or get help from a participating instructor. This program will provide time for artists to work independently from the live model in the media of their choice and see how others work. Bring your materials. Figure Session:https://telfair.ticketapp.org/portal/product/88/packages This course is for intermediate painters who want the richer experience of working directly from a live model in an extended pose rather than from secondary sources. While no formal instruction will be provided, the interactive experience of working in a group is a valuable improvement tool. In addition, individual assistance will be available to those who desire it. Often, a second pair of eyes is needed for the work. Please bring your own materials.
