Shaped by Light
In this edition of figure drawing at Drawing Room, we’re focusing light and shadow to create dramatic, expressive, and energetic drawings! Figure drawing can be intimidating, but what’s more beautiful than the human figure? We want to make it as easy as possible to become more confident in drawing the body while practicing with a live model!
Let go of your expectations of what figure drawing should be and experience what it can be with a community of students coming from all skill levels. Learn how to utilize not only drawing tools like charcoal and pastels, but also the eraser! We’ll also touch on concepts like mark making, negative vs positive space, and of course light vs shadow! Most importantly you will leave the workshop with a foundation of expressive figure drawing that will let you play far beyond the workshop’s end.
We’ll give you hands-on instruction based on our instructor’s personal practice and love for drawing. With a background in dance, Adriana believes that figure drawing is a full body experience where we will be stretching, moving, and using our own bodies to learn. Let’s play, flow, and experience the energy of figure drawing!
