Special 2-Day Figure Drawing Workshop April 21-22

A special 2-day workshop with visiting instructor E.M. Gist

Learn about the Reilly Method of figure drawing. A constructive methodology based on a system of rhythms and comparative measurement. The Reilly Method has it’s basis in the French academic tradition, but is also well suited to more gestural work.

This workshop is great for anyone looking to take advantage of an instructor with 20 years of experience in teaching art, and life drawing in particular. Whether you are a novice artist looking to learn more about academic drawing, or an experienced professional who wishes to improve their speed and efficiency, this is a wonderful opportunity. The approach to figure drawing taught by E. M. Gist has been shown to be very successful in nearly every field of representational art over the last 80 years.

February Workshop

The February theme will be a Paladin in armor.

Plate armor, swords, a mace and gallantry. Draw or paint your knight in shining armor.

We will start off with some short poses, and one long pose for about four hours or more. The fee for this workshop will be $25. I'll have some snacks and drinks. If you take photos of the model (and you've asked for permission) be sure to give a tip.
