This Master Class is designed to give you the fundamental knowledge and technical skills for the artist interested in Figure Drawing and necessary to progress in increasing the quality of your artworks. Learn measuring, hatching, shading techniques, practice a variety of historical techniques copying and analyzing master works, develop your own style copying models from photographic references, learn to “read” the human figure and progress from copying to Understanding the beautiful complexity of the human form.

A variety of materials will also be discussed, such as types of paper, drawing implements, how to prepare various types of drawing surfaces and more, important body of knowledge to explore new artistic and expressive possibilities.

The lessons will be recorded and you will receive a link to the recording to watch the drawing sessions again at your leisure and as many times as you want, for one year. This way you can decide if draw along with me during the session, or just enjoy the demonstration first, and watch it again later at your convenience.
