Course Description

“Drawing is the artist’s most direct and spontaneous expression, a species of writing: it reveals, better than does painting, his true personality.” – Edgar Degas

This Marathon will be an intensive life drawing course in the studio, with a live model and a dynamic set up, focusing on the fundamentals of drawing from perception. Using a range of materials and techniques, we will present and explore a variety of approaches to observational drawing. Students will be encouraged to immerse themselves in the act of looking, to experiment with new ways of seeing, and to develop a strong, lasting drawing practice. Open to beginners and those with experience.
