Course Description: Figure Drawing Open Lab

Join a welcoming community of artists from beginners exploring figure drawing for the first time to experienced painters and draftspeople while developing your skills in drawing and painting the human figure. Working in a structured studio environment with both nude and clothed male and female models, you'll have the chance to work with poses ranging 1-20 minutes in length, with breaks to connect with other students, receive feedback on your work, and share ideas. There are no formal critiques, allowing you to work at your own pace in a relaxed, encouraging atmosphere. Please bring your own supplies and a portable easel or drawing board. The course fee covers the model fees.
