Figure PAINTING Workshops

Join me (and 11 other attendees) for a fun, chill afternoon of drawing and painting. You’ll leave the Workshop having mastered techniques of the greats like Van Gogh, Cezanne, Da Vinci, and Bob Ross.

• 3 ½ hour workshop is comprised of instructor demos, group exercises, and 1:1 feedback to get participants comfortable with drawing from live, clothed models

  • The first half will begin with 1-5 minute poses and cover fundamentals such as lineweight, proportion, value, and perspective

  • The second half will conclude with longer 10 and 15 minute poses and introduce color and panache to our work

• Workshop location is outdoors in South Medford, MA and a 5 minute walk from the Tufts Green Line T Station

• No prior drawing experience necessary. If you have drawing experience and are looking to improve your skills you are also welcome to attend.

• All workshop materials will be distributed to participants upon arrival. No need to bring your own supplies!

• Cost of the workshop is $35 per person. This supports model fee, equipment maintenance and cleanup, and helps me purchase supplies to offer more classes!
