It is thinking through the hand. This workshop gives a student a chance to develop his drawing skills by working directly from a figure model .We will focus on gesture, line,values, light and shadow , form and space. If there is time we will venture into color with pastels. Like a sport drawing requires practice .

This workshop will help a student see and thus to draw both the outer world and the inner world of his imagination
