This is figure drawing made easy with simple illustrations showing how to do basic drawings of the figure. Learn from instructor demonstrations, plus illustrations from a variety of excellent figure drawing books, photographs, and "McCoy" the life-size skeleton. We will draw from the live model for the last 3 weeks. Some drawing experience helpful, but not required. Supplies are basic - any drawing media (pencils, charcoal, marking pens, conte, etc.), a good eraser, and newsprint drawing pad (clip board optional.) 18" X 24" newsprint pad recommended.

Artist Statement:

"A well developed drawing skill is one of the primary foundations of good art. I am attracted to and strive to create sensitive, nuanced lines, which describe form, especially the human form, in terms of expression as well as proportion. I enjoy drawing from the live model – which is always a challenge -  to improve my overall craft, and keep me grounded in evaluating my skills and abilities over time.”
