FIGURE DRAWING CLASS

Beginner / Intermediate Group

Every Saturday 1:30-3:00 PM

Figure drawing is an essential skill for artists, helping to refine observational abilities and enhance understanding of the human form. My Figure Drawing Classes in Vancouver provide a practical, hands-on experience for all skill levels. You can join as a complete beginner or as an intermediate/experienced artist looking to enhance your skills.
Every class we learn a new topic. My syllabus is created to cover all the necessary topics for 8 cohesive months.
After the first class, you’ll be a lot more comfortable with drawing. After 6 classes, you’ll see an improvement in your drawing skills.
