In this class, students are introduced to French Atelier training to draw the human figure. The method of sight size, a fundamental scale system, is used to reproduce the figure accurately. Students work from a live model focusing on outline, proportion, shadow, shape, and value. The non-refundable model fee is due the first day of class and ranges from $150 - $175 for the whole session depending on class size. Please note: enrollment for this course is limited to 5 students.

Depicting the human face has been a subject of fascination for centuries. Even with the development of photography, hand-drawn portraiture continues to be a relevant and expressive form of art. This course is meant to encourage your curiosity and help you better understand the underlying anatomy of the face and how to achieve accurate proportions.
The goal of this 7 week course is to make drawing portraiture less daunting by using systematic methods that encourage students to tackle any obstacles they may encounter. Students can expect individualized feedback throughout the course, as it can be very helpful in the learning process. We will be working from live models in both short and long pose formats. By simplifying the face to its most essential components, students will be able to create a solid foundation with proportions in mind. We will be using both graphite pencil and color pencil and exploring white drawing paper as well as toned paper. At the end of the course students will be able to more confidently render the face with a clear set of strategies and objectives in mind.
THIS CLASS IS FULL. PLEASE CONTACT US TO BE PLACED ON A WAITLIST.

This course is designed for intermediate to advanced students looking to elevate their figure drawing skills. Unlike the introductory class, which focuses more on quick sketches, this course emphasizes longer poses, providing students with the opportunity to create fully developed, refined drawings. While key concepts from the "Intro to Figure Drawing" course—such as sight measuring, plumb lines, and landmarks—will continue to be reinforced, new techniques will also be introduced. These include compositional considerations, hatching and contour hatching, as well as a deeper exploration of charcoal pencils and toned paper.
Though prior completion of "Intro to Figure Drawing" is not required, it will be beneficial. A foundational understanding of figure drawing is recommended for those enrolling. As we will be working from live models for the vast majority of the semester, a one time model fee payment will be required at the beginning of the semester and will range from $48-$120, depending on enrollment.
