For the Winter-Spring 2023 session I will be teaching three classes: Costumed Figure Drawing & Painting; Color 2, Exploring Color; and Imaginative Art & Illustration. Registration information at bottom of page. If you have any questions about these classes, feel free to contact me. Please note: When COVID-19 Community Level is high, masks will be required for students attending my in-person classes. When Community Level is low or medium, people may choose to wear a mask at any time.
Costumed Figure Drawing & Painting is Back!
In-person at The Atelier
In this class we will explore how to portray clothed figures and different materials. Learn about underlying anatomy, characteristics of fabrics and fold types, and ways to choose folds from nature to serve the picture. This 14-week class will be broken into three segments, each with a different costume and pose. Using the sight-size method, students will develop a minimum of 3 costumed figure studies. Depending on experience, students are welcome to work in pencil, charcoal, or oil paint.
