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.

Participants will be guided through the anatomical structures that inform dynamic, accurate depictions of the human form. Using a live model, participants will explore multiple facets of artistic anatomy starting with the major masses of the body and how they relate to essential figure drawing concepts such as opposition, tilt, balance, and proportion. Learn the key bony landmarks and muscle structures relevant to figure drawing and render the visible reference points that inform structure and gesture. Artists will have the opportunity to apply their anatomical knowledge through gestural and long pose figure drawing, individualized feedback, and live demonstrations. Ideal for artists of all levels to deepen understanding of the human form and enhance their figure drawings.

Learn how to draw the human ear in this focused, anatomy-informed workshop with Rachel Suter. Combining her background in art and cadaveric dissection, Rachel will guide participants through her structured approach to capturing this often-overlooked feature with accuracy and confidence. Workshop covers: • Identifying key anatomical landmarks for correct ear placement • Simplifying the ear’s complex form into foundational shapes • Using the block-in technique to guide shading and value placement Includes: lesson and demonstration, followed by guided drawing practice from a live model. Participants will explore both quick gestural sketches and longer poses, developing their observational skills and anatomical understanding. This class is perfect for artists of all levels looking to strengthen their figurative work through anatomical insight and hands-on practice.

This three-day workshop will focus on painting “alla prima” (all at once) as well as developing greater skills of observation, simplification and quickly painting “wet on wet”. Most importantly, we will discuss how thoughtfully and purposely “suggesting” and editing the elements of a composition – rather than simply “rendering” every detail of your reference – will create a stronger, more compelling and “painterly” painting. Graziano is an award winning, nationally exhibited artist whose paintings capture the hidden beauty found in the ordinary and unexpected fleeting moments of everyday life. His work has been featured in numerous publications and is in the collections of private and corporate collectors throughout the world. For more information, visit dangrazianofineart.com.

Students will explore charcoal as the perfect drawing medium for expressive mark making and develop a personal approach to loose, aggressive mark making with a combination of additive and subtractive techniques using charcoal and erasers for mark making and developing grounds. While charcoal will be the primary medium, eventually students will be encouraged to combine other media such as conte crayon and spray paint.
