Class Description:

The hardest thing to capture in art is the human figure.

Taught by MFA Faculty Evan Kitson, this six-week in-person course is designed for intermediate and advanced students. Building on the established nude figure pose from our Fall Long Pose 1 course, this follow-up allows participants to continue their previous artwork into a 12-week pose or start a new piece for these six weeks. We’ll be focusing on artistic anatomy, light and shade, and resolving form and texture. Enhance your understanding of these critical skills, explore new techniques with various drawing materials, and develop confidence in creating compelling long pose figure drawings in a collaborative and supportive environment. Participants of this course are welcome to draw or paint, but this Fall Evan will be discussing and demonstrating drawing.
