Clothed Figure Drawing with Charcoal and Pastels, Five-Week Course With Sue Schreiber, Artist

Ignite your artistic vision through the expressive practice of life drawing in an introductory class. Step beyond the everyday and delve into the nuanced beauty of the human form and how it interacts with fabric when clothed. In each session, explore dynamic ways to translate three-dimensional presence onto paper, guided by experienced artist Sue Schreiber’s insightful approach to anatomy, gesture, and composition.

Whether you’re a seasoned creative seeking fresh inspiration or an emerging artist eager to connect with a fundamental discipline, this class offers a space to experiment, refine your observational skills, and cultivate a deeper understanding of the figure.

This course will help you develop a keen eye for detail as you work to accurately capture the human form. Using charcoal and pastels, you will learn to balance tone in your drawing, applying shaded areas to balance light and dark to capture the complexities of the human body.

Each class will begin with preliminary sketches to practice the various skills of capturing pose, angles, dimensions and details before finishing with a completed work of art.
