Art Bites - Exploring Figure Drawing with Dorota Goede

Sun Oct 6, 1 pm - 3 pm

Not sure how to go about capturing the human figure on paper?  This class will help you unlock the secrets.  You’ll learn how to capture a quick pose that implies a 3D figure on paper using pencil, charcoal, pastel, ink pens or a watercolor brush.

The human figure, whether in motion or posed, is tricky to draw, but with knowledge of sketching fundamentals you’ll get the gist quickly and know how to keep practising. These techniques can be applied to anything you wish to draw in the future. While live drawing with a model is ideal, there are ways to do some practical exercises from images that will build your drawing muscles, and your development and practice can continue easily after the class.
