Mitch Caster Figure Drawing Workshop, July 19th

Figure Drawing Made Easier

If you would like to do more figure work in pastel, but lack confidence, this is a class to give you some strategies for more success. The focus will be drawing techniques for better gesture, proportions, perspective, patterns and edges., how to place multiple figures into a scene, etc.  

Drawing from a live model, we’ll use willow or vine charcoal, kneaded eraser, optional chamois (I will bring some) and spray fixative. Location: Wheat Ridge Center for Music & Arts (currently also Wheat Ridge United Methodist Church)
