AGES 16+

This four-week course will be a focused introduction to the principles of portrait painting from observation. Students will begin with studies from constructive drawing diagrams to establish a clear understanding of the head’s structure, emphasizing planar construction, proportion, and anatomical landmarks.

In following sessions, students will work directly from the model in a series of short-format painted studies. These exercises are designed to reinforce observation of form, color, and light. Instruction includes demonstrations, critique, and ongoing one-on-one feedback.

Open to beginning, intermediate and advanced students who seek to strengthen their understanding of clarity and structure in portraiture.

Tuition: $600

Figure Drawing with Live Nude Model

AGES 18+

July 16, 2026 - August 6, 2026

10:30am - 4:00pm

This four-week intensive introduces students to the foundational principles of constructive figure drawing. Students will begin by working from diagrams and academic plates, focusing on planar construction, gesture, proportion, and key anatomical landmarks. These sessions build a framework for understanding the figure as a structured form in space.

Students will then apply these principles in direct observation from a live model. These sessions emphasize clarity of form, directional movement, and spatial relationships, reinforcing the transition from theoretical study to perceptual accuracy.

This course is well suited for students with prior drawing experience who wish to deepen their understanding of the human figure through a structured, academic approach. But, is open to all skills levels.
