About this workshop-
Visual artists work usually work alone, one activity that brings artists together is to draw or paint a model who has been hired to pose. The 1 to 20 minute poses by the model are typical for figure drawing groups throughout the Bay Area. These short poses develop an artist's discernment for composition, their hand-eye coordination, and serves as a vehicle for artistic growth. These are foundation skills to being a visual artist, even if the artist doesn't do portraits or figures to exhibit. Working with a professional nude model, Carolyn Lord will present a systematic series of lessons in drawing and painting the figure, with emphasis on composition, proportion, light and shadow. The students will work with Nu-pastel or Conte in the morning and with oil paints in the afternoon.
