DRAW the Figure in historic Colville, WA –
Maurice Spira said, "Life drawing is a basic inquiry into the human form.”
Join us for a Saturday of drawing from a live model. This un-instructed workshop will be held at Sarah Kilpatrick’s Mountain Path Yoga studio, in the historic Barman’s building at 230 Main Street, Colville (third floor). Fee is dependent upon number of attendees. The fine art practice of figurative drawing is as old as art itself. Learning to draw the human figure is considered a fundamental art practice by almost all art schools & colleges worldwide; many fine artists also consider life drawing from the nude model to be serving ones artistic apprenticeship and that it's a must do for any aspiring art student.
