Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this figure drawing class:

This is a long pose figure drawing and painting class that focuses on composition, proportions, gesture, values, color and oil painting technique.

Working from the live model, students will learn to work in a direct alla-prima approach where they will aim for good draftsmanship, values and color. This is a fundamental skill in painting, and learning to mix colors in the right value and placing them correctly in the composition takes much practice

There will be constant demonstrations as well as critiques. Students of all levels are welcome.

Classes will be limited to 10 students/class. All students must wear masks, use hand sanitizer upon arrival, maintain proper social distancing and observe all protocols as specified by NY State guidelines.

Please Note:

We provide equipment (easels, chairs, boards, stools) as well as personal supplies (drawing-paper and charcoal, painting-canvas, brushes, paints, palette).

Refund Policy

  • Cancellations requested 2 business days or more before start of class may be refunded less 5% cancellation fee.
  • Reschedules are allowed if class is not taken (no refunds at this point). Class credit is valid for two months.
  • In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

    The class was not what I expected but was fun. Roy was unobtrusive but very helpful in his feedback and suggestions for improving the sketches I was attempting. Everyone was very nice, and we'll likely take the class again another time.
