HOFA Art Supplies & Framing

Instructor: Jesse Klassen

Season two of the HOFA life drawing studio will pick up where the first series left off.
Students will focus on studying the human body via live model, draped and un-draped, honing their drawing skills in transferring what they see to paper. Each class will have a specific focus ranging from working on shadows and highlights to outlines, structure, and perspective. The typical class will start with gestural drawings as warm ups with some basic instruction possibly a demo, the one or two longer poses to finish off.

Students of all skill levels are encouraged to attend, see you there!
