Description

In this class students will work from a live model in a variety of situations from nude, partly clothed to maybe some playful costumes. Working in charcoal and pastel will allow us to focus on quickly creating form and easily exploring color. The goal is to gain confidence and finesse in gesture drawing from life. Exploring how proportion, structure, rhythm and composition contributes to the visual communication of expression and emotion. The sessions will begin with a focus on a quick and gestural approach and over the nine weeks lead to more developed considered drawings. Throughout the sessions Jamie will do some in-class demonstrations. He will also do some drawing along with the class, because sharing in the work builds rapport and demystify the process of creation. The model fee averages $75 - $90 per person depending on the class size. View the supply list here
