Drawn to Life: A Crash Course on Life Drawing
This July we’re switching things up a bit from our usual monthly figure drawing class:
Are you a newer or more casual artist who’d like to learn more about how to draw from life or from reference? Maybe you’ve never participated in a figure drawing class with a human model before, but you’re interested in learning more? If so, this one is for you!
This crash course will provide you with basic information about drawing from life, whether it be from still-life arrangement (i.e. fruit in a basket, or a vase of flowers), or drawing the human figure, its anatomy and movement. Together, we’ll break down how to start drawing from life, specific techniques for how to more realistically render people or items in front of you, and you’ll have the opportunity to draw a live clothed model. By the end of the evening, you’ll be able to see how life drawing can positively impact how you draw and improve your skills!
This session will be broken into two segments: the first half will be a presentation by your host, followed by a short break, and then a guided figure drawing session to finish the evening.
Note: this is an all-ages event!
This event is hosted by Liam Williams, resident tattoo artist at Unkindness Art and host of our regular monthly figure drawing sessions. Although not an art educator by trade, he is a professional working artist of 9+ years, and is passionate about helping make art accessible and sharing his own knowledge to encourage others to create for themselves!
The event takes place on Wednesday, July 29 from 7:45-10pm here at Unkindness Art (2923 North Avenue, Richmond VA 23222).
Important event rules and info are as follows (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY):
