Unleash your artistic potential this summer with an intensive workshop focused on capturing the human form through live model sketches and detailed drawings. Delve into figure anatomy, master charcoal techniques, and bring your vision to life with a final project under expert guidance.
Most of the college art portfolio requirements include live model drawings and paintings, which are difficult to arrange during regular portfolio prep classes (sessions have to be longer). Therefore, we offer this summer 4-hour long weekly workshop (5 sessions, 20 hours total) that helps fill this gap. Teachers closely monitor and guide students during these live model sessions. The portraits from the previous live model workshops were all used in our graduate students' college portfolios. Live sketches and detailed drawings of live models are produced at these workshop. Models wear open swimsuits.
