Painting the human body from observation is part of the great classical tradition of study in the arts. This class will focus on a single pose over two Saturdays. Along the way we will touch on how mark-making can contribute energy, as well as on light source, color, and volume. The model will be lightly clothed. Students may also draw if they prefer.
