Speed Drawing with Damon Lehrer: 3-Week Class
285 Washington St, Somerville, MA, USMembers: just $30! Non-members: $150 *This is an extra special opportunity for members, as there is an especially high member discount!
Learn from artist and Founder of the Boston Figure, Damon Lehrer, and see what we're all about! Limited to just 10 students.
This three-week class will cover some of the concepts and techniques for drawing the human figure (and other things) quickly, accurately, and with style and feeling. A
Atelier drawing techniques that require many hours and slow the process down can produce great drawings, but artists also may need to be able to draw quickly, efficiently, and with individual style, as well as from imagination without a model. If you have interest in honing the speed and economy of your drawing, this class is for you!
