A materials list is on the website.

Bring photos to work from, a Speedball pen and ink set with a variety of nibs, black India waterproof ink, white drawing paper and plenty of patience!

Instructor: Louise Gillis

The second half of the class will be a sustained pose carried on in the remaining classes. This gives students the opportunity to learn how to finish a drawing incorporating form, anatomy, beauty of line and "sculpting" the body from within. See materials list on website. Model fee extra, based on number of students ($155 or less for the 7-week session, $175 or less for the 8-week, depending on enrollment).
