Intro to figure drawing: structure & anatomy
Mondays, 6:00-9:00 p.m. // oct 20 - nov 24 (6 weeks)
This course is a great transitional step for students of figure drawing, who are looking to move into longer sessions with the model to understand form.
In the course, students will learn the major bones and muscle groups of the human figure.
Each class will begin with the instructor demonstrating and lecturing on a specific area of the body, going over bones, muscles, origins and insertions, as well as canons of proportions and methods for measuring.
Form analogies and planar conceptualizations will also be covered to give students tools to interpret the surface morphology of the figure.
Painting & Drawing
Tuesdays and wednesdays //6:00 - 9:00 P.m.
This class offers skills-building using Graphite Drawing concentrated on the Charles Bargue Drawing Course, Charcoal Drawing using plaster casts of classical sculpture, Oil Painting in still life as students progress in their skill and handling, and Color study as it relates to the exploration of color, exploring the relationships between Hue, Value and Chroma.
Classes run in 4 week cycles beginning the first week of the month. This class is offered on a continual enrollment basis - we prorate students beginning in the middle of the month. Because each class is tailored to the individual, you don’t miss anything if you start late.

Private Lessons
Open availability // in-person & online
Private lessons help you to hone the skills you want to develop under the guidance of an experienced professional.
Many of my private students are former art school graduates, or find themselves returning to art after raising a family or developing a career. They may have spent a few years taking classes and workshops, but they’re eager to get serious about their craft, but aren’t necessarily looking to make art a career or willing to enter a 4 year program. With private lessons, I’m able to tailor a unique curriculum to you and your goals, while providing the focused environment that you wont find at a community art center or in group classes.
