This is an all-day drawing marathon. Participants will choose to work from the figure (nude and costumed) in gradual movement, 10-minute, 30-minute and 1-hour poses. This is an opportunity for artists to connect with one another and hone their figure drawing skills. This class is for adult artists of all levels (students 16 and older may participate).
Those interested in participating in any of the programs at the Gibbes Museum of Art or Shelmore Village, should call 843-722-2706 ext. 41 or send an e-mail to artacademy@gibbesmuseum.org.
