Refine your drawing skills through the timeless practice of working from a live figure model. This series guides students from rapid gesture studies to a sustained, multi-session pose, building confidence in accuracy and visual decision-making.

Session 1: Gesture & Movement—Capture the "big picture" through quick, 5–10 minute poses focused on proportion and fluid response.

Session 2: Structure & Value—Slow down with 45-minute poses to explore structural anatomy, light, and varying viewpoints.

Session 3: Sustained Study—Begin a long-form drawing, applying foundational lessons to a pose that spans two weeks.

Session 4: Refinement & Depth—Complete your final work with a focus on thoughtful mark-making and deep observation.
