This workshop will focus on two of the essential approaches to drawing the figure: Contour and Gesture. The complexity of the human figure can be daunting, but the exercises in this class will allow artists to start to see and draw the body as a whole rather than as a collection of parts. An understanding of Contour and Gesture drawing allows us to draw, not copy.
The session draws inspiration from The Natural Way to Draw by Kimon Nicolaides and is a fun introduction to figure drawing for beginners as well as a quick refresher for more experienced artists.
All experience levels are welcome. Students should bring a pad of white drawing paper, 11″x14″.
