Life Drawing, also known as Figure Drawing, is the practice of drawing in order to study the human figure. If you look at historic artwork, you'll find many nude drawings and paintings. These are considered life drawings. Many artists perceive figure drawing as an endless effort with limitless possibility for improvement, learning, and diversity. The range of detail in a life drawing can vary immensely. They can range from highly detailed and anatomically proportional drawings to loose and expressive sketches to gesture drawings, which show the simple form, action and pose. Some popular mediums used during life drawings are charcoal, graphite, pen, ink and pastels. For the longer poses, some may use painting mediums like acrylics or oil.

Imagine 6 specially chosen colors that will result in mixes that give you the most vibrant colors and avoid muddiness. Artists use these colors to make secondary colors to show brightness, intensity, nuanced color, shadows, and atmospheric perspective/distance, among other things. Learn what colors combine to portray bright sun, cloudy days, cast shadows and shady places. You will broaden your color options using a limited—but specially chosen—palette of colors. Color theory is the same for all paint media so come prepared to paint in the medium of your choice as Alex gets you on your path to perfect color mixing! Students should bring $20 cash to pay for materials, which will all be provided for you!
