Figure Atelier Morning Session: In-Person

Robert Armetta | Spring | Fridays: Jan 16 - Apr 10

Class Description:

Join Robert Armetta for this in-person classic atelier approach to mastering the figure.

This class will focus on practical and historical figure-drawing and painting methods. Students will learn clear processes for ascertaining proper proportions, establishing anatomical accuracy, and modeling form in light and shadow. The class is designed to eliminate guesswork and trial-and-error in painting and drawing and is suited to students of all levels. Working from a live model taking a sustained pose, students will have the opportunity to create a finished work by the end of class. Students are welcome to focus on either drawing or painting in the class.
