We will go through several FUNdamental figure drawing exercises that will hone in on various aspects of quickly capturing human form from both photo references and a live nude model. We will examine line quality, value, gesture and composition while exploring a variety of expressive ink painting techniques. In addition to learning a simple approach to quickly capturing the figure, various ways of creating rich, emotional images and telling a story will be examined. We will also work on balancing line precision with freedom of mark making and whimsical decorations.

This workshop is for artists of all levels and no prior experience with ink is required. While prior figure drawing experience would be helpful, it is also not required. Model fees and all painting supplies are included.
