Figure drawing can feel intimidating, even for experienced artists, but strong results come from solid foundations. This immersive two-day workshop introduces time-tested classical principles of figure drawing, focusing on Structure, Line, Form, and Gesture—fundamentals that support all styles, from expressive sketches to highly realistic work. Students will practice building the human figure with clear underlying structures, study examples from historical and contemporary masters, and explore working from photo reference, Zoom, and live models. The workshop concludes with a special guided Zoom drawing session with internationally known artist’s model Mariano DaMonte, offering a rare opportunity to study the male figure in a focused, instructional setting. Additional model fee applies, $55 per person payable by cash or check to the instructor.
