Figure drawing, also called Life Drawing, is drawing the naked human form. Figure drawing has always been the cornerstone of artistic training, but is also popular with amateur as well as professional artists. The figure presents many technical problems - form, structure, foreshortening and so on - so is wonderful training, and also allows the artist to display their skill. But the nude figure also allows the artist to express a great deal about human nature. Stripped of the cultural baggage of clothing, the nude figure can express every aspect of humanity, from the heroic to the pathetic. So, when you attend a life drawing class, you are participating in a centuries-old artistic tradition. You might like to visit an art gallery and observing the many classical nudes in painting and sculpture before you attend your first life drawing class.
The sessions commence with some quick warm-up sketches. Then we do some longer five to fifteen minute poses. You may find that you are unable to complete a drawing at first. You'll soon learn how much detail you can include for different length poses.
After the model has had a break, we will do some longer poses - thirty minutes or longer. Sometimes a class may do a very long pose, with a break in the middle.
This class is for all levels, beginner through advanced students. There is a facilitator is class but there is no formal instruction. If you want instruction please ask about our figurative drawing classes.
