Embracing the Nude: Developing your Individual Vision

Join Pauline Adair for her workshop

Embracing the Nude: Developing your Individual Vision

Drawing the Figure in Charcoal with Pauline

Saturday 17th February, 2024

9am -3.30pm

Using photo references, after some quick warmups and some hand/eye coordination exercises, we will proceed to finished charcoal drawings. You will learn to draw more accurately with my technique of ‘seeing and then delivering’ marks to the paper.

I will show you how to switch easily between left and right brain thinking.

We will look at dynamic cropping, the portrait, and easy ways with hands & feet and why we should include them more often!

I will encourage participants to follow their own vision and develop their own individual style.

(Demonstration: Ink & Wash figure, if time allows)

COST: $75pp (BICAS members) $85 non-members.
