This workshop offers a respectful, focused studio setting for drawing from the live nude model, with a balance of guided instruction and open studio practice.
In the first three sessions with multimedia artist Jacob Fossum, students will observe both the skeletal structure of the human body and the live figure to better understand the form beneath the surface.
In the final six sessions, local artist Marine Penvern will lead an open, studio-style practice, offering guidance as needed. Participants will be encouraged to focus on form, gesture, and light, and to explore their own style.
