Drawing begins with observation. In this three-part figure drawing class series, artist and educator Lia Strasser will guide students through a series of exercises designed to help them see more clearly, draw more confidently, and embrace the process of looking.Working from a live nude model, students will explore gesture, proportion, shape, and light while developing their own expressive approach to mark-making. Whether you’re brand new to drawing or returning after years away, this supportive class offers an opportunity to slow down, observe, and connect with the joy of drawing. Join us for a single class, or make the most of your learning and experience and register for all three classes.
No experience required. Must be 18 years of age to participate.
