Private TVAA Figure Drawing

Learn how to conduct a figure drawing study with a live model using charcoal, newsprint, and drawing paper. During each standalone session, your instructor--Jessica Henry--will discuss basic human proportions, composition, value and form, and each lesson may focus on an additional special topic, including hands, face, torso, foreshortening (lying down), or drapery over figure.

​

Each session, we'll learn about optimal work area set-up, basic materials, and dynamic gestures and measuring techniques. As a group, we will learn from each other by sharing our work and discussing our challenges in brief critiques during breaks for our model.

​​

Recommended materials to bring:
- Newsprint paper (14x17 or larger)

- For longer poses, we may use drawing paper (14x17 or larger)
- Charcoal pencils 2B and 4B

- Compressed charcoal sticks 2B, 4B, 6B
- Conté pencils or sticks
- Kneaded eraser
While we encourage you to  bring your own materials to class, we always keep some extra supplies on hand!
