The Art of the Figure Workshop at MOCA

This life drawing series, led by local artist Rachel Brown on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month, 12 - 3 p.m., is designed for artists of all levels of experience. Learn and practice general proportion and key anatomical landmarks by studying a live model. A focus will be placed on creating dynamic figures, demonstration and practice of gesture drawings, and intentional consideration of different levels of finish.

Materials are not provided for this class. Bring your own materials to draw. Newsprint and charcoal are recommended for gesture drawing, but any drawing medium is acceptable for longer poses.
