Figure Drawing is a journey
Figure drawing is the foundation and gateway into the glorious world of fashion design illustration. Through studying and observing the balance, flow and proportions of the human figure, and primarily the female standing figure, as a springboard into all drawing.
With the fashion / standing, posed figure as our focus, we will learn and master structure, put it into practice and then slowly and intentionally UNDO the structure as we allow flow, shape, energy, feeling, form, and intuition take over.
It’s an exciting journey!
And whenever we feel we’ve gone “too far” over the wild and free edge, we’ll come back to the basic structure as an anchor-point.
In Model Drawing Magic Mastery, move back and forth between expansive exercises and grounding tools to bring a raw personal fingerprint into your work, find the voice that effortlessly flows out of you, and develop your relationship with it.
This includes recognizing what you love about yourself, about fashion and the figure.
What do you love about your expressions, and which aspects you reject, find “unworthy”, wrong, or believe you have to change?
Why? All of this can become a empowering part of the process.
As you focus in, you can feel the beliefs that hold you back.
These beliefs fall away as your technique becomes more focused and experienced.
This is how studying art can be so transformative!
In our weekly exercises /lessons and our 15week private course support container, you can share and ask anything.
As we work through our beliefs about our sketches, our results, our relationship to our expressive voice, to our creativity, to our body, our art supplies, our careers …
…and to our personal journeys in the arts and creative spaces.
I’m eager to meet each of you in this program (keep the replays for life) to be witnessed, grow, ask and practice and share in the realm of model drawing, art, style, and exploration.
Fashion Drawing is an adventure
And that said, learning to DRAW in itself is a journey, and MODEL DRAWING MAGIC is a foundation for a lifetime of expressive communication and expression (and imagination) through the figure, poses, balance, movement, texture and form.
EMBODIMENT in figure drawing
EMBODIMENT, experiential learning, through PLAY and curiousity, enjoyment and physical movment, are the most powerful ways to RECEIVE and LEARN new information and create new neuropathways for art, creativity, figure drawing (dance, ANYTHING new you are learning!)
MINDSET in figure drawing for fashion (and beyond)
I believe that HOW WE LEARN is what matters most. The atmosphere and underlying message in any class, especially one that deals with expression and creatiity, can be encouraging, opening and healing, or ca potentially by damaging. I am here to create an atmosphere where you can come as you are and release limiting beliefs around what is possible for you and heal your relationship with your own expression- thus enabling it to flourish.
How does that make you feel, just to think???
I can’t wait to meet you !
