Anatomy Intensive Figure Drawing
This drawing workshop with Master Artist Dan Thompson teaches students an interpretive array of structural, anatomical tools as elements of close observation. All skill levels are welcome. With lectures on the use of perceptual drawing information and demonstrations on developing anatomical construction, students apply these insights to a figure posed in an environment. A long pose drawing exercise, as applied practice, supports the learning objectives of the workshop.
