Summer Workshop 2018 Space is limited to 10 students

This week long intensive workshop is a must for any artist who is hoping to better their life

drawing skills. It is recommended that you are already familiar with basic life drawing as this is not a beginner class. We will be looking at, discussing and simplifying the entire bone

structure which is what establishes an armature for muscle and flesh to sit upon. After two days of focusing on the bone structure, we will move into the muscle structure and learn what

makes each person unique. Live models will be present daily so students can put this new-found knowledge to the test

after each mini-lecture. The instructor will utilize the skeleton, competed anatomical drawings, handouts books and many, many drawing demonstrations to share her love of the figure.

Instructor: Amy Foster

August 6th – 10th: Monday – Friday from 9:30 – 4:00 p.m. (M) $425; (NM) $475 including the model fee (a supply list will be emailed upon request)
