Life Drawing

Life Drawing from the Model

Figure drawing has always been the cornerstone of artistic training and a tradition at the Art Academy since 2009. It's popular with amateur as well as professional artists. The figure presents many technical problems - form, structure, foreshortening and so on, it allows the artist to display his/her skill. But the nude figure also allows the artist to express a great deal about human nature. Stripped of the cultural baggage of clothing, the nude figure can express every aspect of humanity, from the heroic to the pathetic. When you attend a life drawing class you are participating in a centuries-old artistic tradition!

All mediums accepted. Oil painters must use Turpenoid as thinner.
