Drawing lessons – action, the figure & portraiture

"What do the students learn?" "All the fundamentals"
  • Drawing people 

 

Brief exercises (3-5 minutes) show how to capture pose, light, expression.

 

 

 

Team-building: Each participant poses for the group, then chooses the next model. This is active, original and fun – and one "takes home" a new way of looking.

 

     • Life-drawing

 

 

Life-drawing, a very Parisian experience

Ten-second poses to seize movement and contour, 20-minute poses for volume, shadow, perspective, foreshortening, very quick exercises for expression... 

 

     • Portraits


     " The face is made up of triangles..."

 

 

 

 

  • "Paris portraits"
