Life Drawing, or Figure Drawing, is a foundational practice for artists to study the human figure through observation. During Art League Life Drawing sessions, a model poses for a variety of lengths, from quick 2-minute gesture poses to longer 20–30-minute poses. Short poses help loosen up and build confidence, while longer poses allow for more attention to anatomy, proportion, and detail. All skill levels are welcome! Bring your preferred medium—charcoal, graphite, pen and ink, pastels, acrylics, oils, or whatever you enjoy—and use the session as an opportunity to practice, experiment, and grow.

Think drawing is a "gift" that has to come "naturally"? You might be surprised to learn it's actually a skill like any other—and Chris Dreyer is here to show you how easily it can be learned. Drawing is as much about learning how to see and think about form and space as it is about technique. Through this process, you'll also gain a deeper understanding of your subject. As you progress through the exercises, you'll develop a keener eye for the forms you're observing and become more skillful in representing them. Chris will focus on drawing subjects from the island, helping you connect with your surroundings in a whole new way. This course is for beginner to intermediate level students.
