Class Description
This is a weekly open studio class where people of all artistic levels are invited to explore the human form through drawing and painting from a live nude model. It's a great way to sharpen up skills that have become rusty during the pandemic or to practice something new. The instructor is there to offer advice or to give more detailed instructions if you want them.
Each session starts out with fast "gesture" poses up to the first break, and then the poses get longer so you can focus on the details. There is no set progression from one class to the next. You can jump in any time.

Open-Source Exercises
Through the past six months the class has evolved from its original structure of simple drawing practice from the model, with instruction. A number of exercises have been included to enhance the quality of instruction, and they occupy about 1/3 of the class time.
These are designed to stimulate the students' ability by enlisting the right hemisphere in a way pioneered by Betty Edwards in her book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.
A key difference between this program and the Edwards program is the use of a nude model for nearly all of the exercises. Descriptions and analysis of these exercises can be accessed through the "OSERB" page, which stands for Open-Source Exercises for the Right Brain.
