Figure Drawing is an observational drawing course focused on the study of the human form. Working from a live model, students will develop an understanding of anatomy, proportion, gesture, structure, volume, and spatial relationships while strengthening their observational skills. The first portion of each class emphasizes quick gesture drawings that capture movement, energy, weight, and posture through a series of short poses. The second portion is dedicated to longer, sustained studies that allow students to refine details, explore value and form, and create more fully developed drawings. Through consistent practice, students will gain confidence in representing the figure accurately while developing their own visual approach to drawing from life. This class is ideal for artists of all skill levels who are interested in improving their ability to draw the human figure from observation. Beginners will gain a strong foundation in gesture, proportion, and anatomy, while more experienced artists will have the opportunity to refine their technical skills and deepen their understanding of the figure. Figure Drawing is particularly well-suited for students interested in drawing, painting, illustration, animation, comics, sculpture, design, or any visual art practice that benefits from a stronger understanding of the human body. It is also an excellent course for artists returning to drawing after time away and for those seeking to strengthen their observational skills through regular practice. Whether your goal is to improve technical accuracy, develop expressive mark-making, or gain confidence working from a live model, this course provides a supportive environment for learning and artistic growth. Live nude models are used, so the class is limited to adults only. Please check your registration confirmation email for a link to the class supply list.
