As a result she was exposed to many different styles and techniques which she combined to created her own unique style of painting.

Class Description
This class gives tools to tackle the monstrous task of drawing the figure. Rather than a one size fits all method we learn to use different methods as tools not rules. We will discover a variety of approaches that not only build upon one another, but also allow artists to emphasize or combine methods that suit their own creativity. After we learn how to simplify the body we will build it back up with diagrammatic models for bones and muscles that are both detailed and easy to retain. By combining methods for approach and building a studious understanding of the body we will develop successful intuitions for drawing the body. Thus like a practicing athlete we scaffold skills until they become natural. We practice, go live, and practice again.
