Intro to Figure Drawing Intensive

Learn the foundational skills essential to drawing the human form in this immersive figure drawing intensive. Working from live models and using charcoal, students will focus on gesture, proportion, and key anatomical landmarks to capture the essence of the pose. Through careful observation and structured practice, participants will develop a strong, structural block-in—an essential first step in any successful figure drawing or painting.

Led by instructors Justin Kapp and Christopher Nixon, this course is designed to build confidence and clarity in your approach to the figure, whether you're just beginning or refining your fundamentals. It’s also the ideal preparation for advancing into our fall figure painting classes with Darren Kingsley and Stephen Early at Realist Art League .

This 6-day class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, beginning August 12.
All materials provided for beginners. Open to all levels.
