This drop-in figure drawing course is suitable for all skill levels. Untrained new artists will learn multiple approaches to figure drawing while seasoned artists will have the opportunity to hone their skills and further train their eye.

The goal is to train all artists to more quickly and fluidly capture the gesture of the entire figure.
