Drawing or Painting: Long Pose
In this immersive class, students will take a deep dive into anatomy, proportion, and academic rendering techniques by working from a single, sustained pose held by a live model over 21 hours, spread across seven sessions. This extended format offers a rare opportunity to develop a long-form drawing entirely from life, allowing time to observe, refine, and fully realize the figure. We’ll break the drawing process into manageable stages—focusing on structure, form, and value—to build a stronger understanding of realistic rendering. Ideal for artists looking to strengthen their foundational skills and push their work to a higher level of finish.
