In this exciting weekend course, under the tuition of Charlie Pickard, students will tackle the most challenging and important academic subject to master: the human figure.

Students will have the opportunity to study a model from life for a 2-day pose, allowing enough time to thoroughly observe the nuances of form by drawing the model for a total of six hours per day. Critiques will be focused on achieving a high level of academic accuracy, building a strong foundation that will aid in all further artwork. Charlie Pickard will also demonstrate a painting alongside students, using a mass drawing method.

This course is designed for intermediate to advanced drawing level.
