FIRST FIGURE DRAWING with Jeff Marshall 3-day workshop

Do you want to draw from a live model but don’t know how to start? Do you wish you had some basic drawing techniques that can help? This workshop is designed for beginners and for artists who haven’t drawn from the model in a long time. We’ll cover those critical first 15 minutes of a figure drawing, where you establish the foundation and motivation to build a complete image. We’ll explore different drawing techniques, tools for accurate proportions, and a variety of materials. This workshop will be fun, informative, and give you what you need to go to any Open Studio and draw from the figure. Join Us!

When: January 20, 21, 22, 10 AM-2:30 PM each day

Where: The Cultural Center at Rocky Neck (6 Wonson Street, Gloucester)
