This is a unique opportunity to study with two accomplished and warmhearted artist-educators in the same course. Ken and Stephanie are both well known for their ability to help each person find their own unique drawing abilities. Each week there will be a life model.
Week 1, Ken will introduce a simplified approach to gesture drawing and the fundamentals of figure and head construction. Weeks 2 and 3, Ken will go deeper into the importance of gesture drawing in relation to constructing and composing longer poses.
During the final three weeks, Stephanie will continue to build on Ken’s lessons but will include longer poses that will allow students time to incorporate the basics into an actual process of drawing or painting more finished figures and portraits.
