Life drawing is a great way to improve your drawing skills. It trains you to 'see' and react quickly to what's in front of you, but there is also room for you to express your personal view of the subject. In Life Drawing Course for Beginners, you will practice drawing the nude from life in a series of quick and long poses that allow you to record quickly and efficiently what you see and longer poses that allow you to really study the subject.

You will use a range of media and techniques to explore line, form, and expression. In this series of classes, we will also draw the nude in space and set up props and change the lighting to create different moods and scenes. This way we will add to your understanding of composition, tone, and the study of light and dark.
