Short-Pose Workshop

In this workshop we'll learn on setting a foundation to drawing: Gesture. Essentially the soul of drawing, we will spend class sketching from the live model in various timed poses. Rhythm, movement, and flow are all concepts to be covered. Poses will range from 2 minutes, 5's 10's.

Focus will be heavy on the total action/mood of a figure rather than fully rendered pieces.

Instructor will provide personal 1-on-1 guidance throughout
