I think one can never do enough figure drawing.
I certainly never do enough!! 😀
So this fall I signed up for a class with Seattle artist Ellen Borison, through Arts East. We had our first session a little over a week ago and — wow! — I just loved Ellen’s approach. She gave us unique and innovative exercises, which kept things moving and is just the kind of drawing class I like to be in.
With these three, we were to tear the figure in paper first and glue down to our papers. Next, we just drew in the highlights in chalk. And finally, we finished with line.
Thank you, Ellen!
And, Seattleites: There is still room… sign up! (No affiliation here, I just think she is wonderful!)
