Course Description

Drawing by Ingrid Von Saltza

In this course, you can depict the human form using various drawing media like charcoal, pastel or ink. You can also include collage and some painting. Instead of focusing on exact anatomy, the emphasis will be on capturing movement, emotion and energy. Through exercises in gesture drawing and creative exploration, you can develop your own style and convey the human figure in imaginative ways. This course is ideal for those who want to push the boundaries of traditional figure drawing and expand their artistic expression.
