Sue Davis will conduct a series of four Tuesday morning classes lasting 2.5-3 hours each will concentrate on the human figure. The first day covers drawing simple stick figures, gesture sketching, proportions and measuring. The following weeks address how to simplify skeletal and musculature structure, basic facial anatomy, shading techniques, drawing from a live model, portraiture and rendering realistic hands.
A charcoal kit is included as instruction will be provided on how to use this medium to create loose, expressionistic drawings.
A detailed pdf explaining the concepts and activities to be presented that week will be emailed to each participant. There will be demonstrations and exercises which focus on the weekly topic.
Time will be provided for everyone to practice the techniques in class.
