Charcoal Figure Drawing

Discover the expressive power of charcoal in this in-person figure drawing class led by artist Stephanie Linden. For beginners and developing artists alike, this class introduces the essential techniques of drawing the human form from life in a supportive, studio environment. Working with a live model, students will explore a range of poses that build both confidence and skill. The class begins with quick, focused sketches that isolate individual parts of the body, helping you understand structure, proportion, and movement in manageable steps. As the session progresses, you’ll transition into longer poses, applying those foundational insights to create more complete, full-figure drawings.

Stephanie will guide you through the traditional approach to charcoal figure drawing, demonstrating how to see and translate form, light, and gesture onto paper. Whether you're new to figure drawing or looking to refine your technique, this class offers a thoughtful balance of structure and creative freedom, helping you develop a deeper understanding of the human figure while building your artistic voice.
