Osher Figure Drawing Class with Model Amelia

We kicked off another Osher at CMU Figure Drawing course with many gesture drawings of model Amelia.

We began with 5-Line drawings: allowing ourselves only 5 lines to describe each pose.  I find this creates abstract drawings, but gets our hands moving.

We turned our vine charcoals on their sides and created mass gesture drawings next, followed by mass gestures with lines added.

After a break, we finished up with a 1.5 hour long pose, taking breaks every 20 minutes.

It felt amazing to be back to figure drawing, especially with Amelia's creative poses and bright energy to inspire us.

Many thanks to model Amelia!
