Hosted in Elemental Studios’ beautiful new studio space this class serves as both an introduction to life drawing and 2D media as well as a fresh set of challenges for the experienced artist. Each week students will be introduced to new challenges and subject matter, from drawing live models and complex still- lives to creating metaphysical landscapes entirely from imagination. Mechanical skill development will be valued but our priority here is to have fun, explore new materials and push the boundaries of our creativity. Unlike weekly “drop in” life drawing sessions this class will feature lessons and live instruction by a professional artist who will help students grow and master new techniques and materials. This is a class for beginners to advanced students. Classes will be 3 hours and will feature a unique challenge each session. Content will include, still-life, live models, props and live drawing exercises. Supplies will be provided and will vary depending on class. Graphite, charcoal, pastel and ink will all be used in the course of the class. We will also build some basic drawing aids ourselves.
