This Fall, I will be teaching Drawing From The Live Model (ART85/86/87) at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, CA. Students will learn how to rapidly draw the figure in action, how to construct the figure using primitive forms, how to measure proportion and how to shade the figure using a clear separation of light and shadow shapes. Every week, we will work from a live nude model alternating male and female. Under my guidance, you will surprise yourself with how easy and enjoyable figure drawing can be. A prerequisite of beginning drawing is recommended, but not required.
