Life Drawing, also known as Figure Drawing, is the practice of drawing in order to study the human figure in detail. Many artists perceive figure drawing as an endless effort with limitless possibility for improvement, learning, and diversity. There will be a model, male or female, most often nude, posing for different durations: 2 minutes to 10 minutes, then followed by a long pose of 20 to 30 minutes. 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, or, go back after the session and add in additional media. Feel free to bring and use whatever you desire.

Lean into the fear of letting go of expectations and allow your painting to evolve based on pure emotion. Embrace what you do and never question anything about it. There are no analyses, judgments, or do-overs, in intuitive painting. There is no discipline or thought necessary. It is your gut, heart, and soul talking, not your brain. Students will learn to work in acrylic layers across a large canvas as Donna shares tips for building a stronger working knowledge of color-blending transitional layers while experimenting with tools, textures, and shapes. Begin to confidently use the surface as your narrative and paint what feels right...allow your story to unfold naturally.

Painting is learning to see. Often, we paint what we think we see because we all have preconceived notions of what something looks like. However, to really paint what you see, you must break down everything you are looking at into just abstract shapes. Don’t see a “house”, see a series of interlocking shapes. Aline is known for her vivid paintings and creative use of color. Working from their own photo references, students will transform these into pastel or oil paintings using the principles of color and design. Along with daily painting demonstrations, Aline will emphasize the understanding of color in terms of temperature, intensity, and value while translating those ideas using pastel or oil techniques.
