Artists are often confused when drawing a view of the figure that has an arm or a leg that “sticks out” at us. This class will teach new mental models for understanding the human form that are more flexible and can accommodate a wide range of views. We’ll draw from the live model and get you more sure with your foreshortening.
If you visit Cornell Scott Hill Health Center at 428 Columbus Avenue in New Have, CT, you’ll see a new painting on the wall. I finished “Neighborhood Rhythm” (oil on canvas, 92″ x 24″) last year- a piece inspired by the interconnected community in New Haven.
CSHHC interviewed me about the piece-you can check it out below. It’s part of their new art program featuring the work of local artists in their clinics.

Learn how to understand and draw the figure in terms of simple volumes: cubes, cylinders and spheres. Discover the connection between the interior structures of the skeleton and muscles and how they influence the outside shape of a body. This approach gives you the tools to understand foreshortening and how to draw the figure from imagination.
All levels welcome, some figure drawing experience recommended.
