Workshop on Expressive Figure Drawing

Learn how to draw figures, how to make expressive drawings by participating in this 2-day intense workshop with Mashiul Chowdhury.  Students will have an opportunity to learn from short dynamic gestural poses to long poses of a life model.

This course will teach practical information about proportion, skeletal structure, muscle groups, and their relation to surface features of the body; proportional relationships of the human form, and the body in perspective. Participants will draw from photo references and life models and progress from quick gestural sketches to longer tonal studies with charcoal and pastels on toned paper to develop a three-dimensional form.  This workshop is for all levels.
