The key to exciting figure drawing is to capture the expressive essence of the form through attentive mark-making and convincing structure. This course will begin with a gesture approach to the figure and will include basic skeletal anatomy to assist in achieving proper proportion of the human form. Longer poses will allow investigation in both line and tone.
Basic measuring techniques will be reviewed.
Brief critiques will be held to encourage constructive feedback from both the class members and the instructor.
Students who wish to utilize the figure as a starting point for personal interpretation will be encouraged to do so.
This course can be repeated.
This course will cover the basic concepts and methods of linear perspective. Beginning with an introduction to the fundamentals of 1-point, 2-point and 3-point perspective, we will progress through interior spaces and further applications for still life and other observational rendering.

This is traditional OPAL Sunday figure session for drawing from a live model. These are 3-hour non-instructional figure drawing sessions. Work on your figure-drawing skills at your own self-directed pace! Our facilitator sets up and lights and directs the model.
Easels, horses, boards are provided for use during the session. Bring your own materials - whatever you want to work with, charcoal, pencils, pastels, paint, ipad, modeling clay, etc.
Open to adults only, must be at least 18 yrs. old to register and attend. To give attendees enough room to work and keep a sociable distance, studio capacity for students is set at 14

This is an introduction to the basic concepts of observational drawing, suitable for beginning students as well as those with some working experience who want more in-depth exposure to these fundamental concepts and practices. Methods introduced in this course will serve as a foundation to all observational drawing as we utilize still life and focus on line quality, exploring the form and character of both. The course will cover a gestural approach to layout, measuring proportions and basic perspective and progress through an investigation of the “surface information” that gives forms and objects their individual qualities.
This course will be followed by “Drawing Fundamentals Part 2: Tone” in the next session, which will carry these ideas forward into tonal rendering.
Instruction will be tailored toward the progress of each student and the course will be adjusted according to class need. Returning students will have the chance to further develop their own individual work and abilities.
