Figure Drawing Sessions

Craven Arts Council & Gallery hosts a drop-in figure drawing session led by local artist Courtney Durocher. Artists may sketch, paint, or create in their preferred medium while working from a live model who is semi clothed. The format builds core drawing skills, observational focus, and an understanding of movement, gesture, and the human form. It begins with quick one to five minute poses for gestural studies, then transitions to longer poses for deeper exploration and finished pieces. Durocher, an artist experienced in both physical and digital media with a focus on illustration and comics, will lead the room and offer instruction and feedback upon request. The program welcomes artists working in any medium and is being offered as a pilot to gauge interest in figure drawing. The cost is $5 for Craven Arts Council & Gallery members and $10 for nonmembers. Payment is taken at the door and registration is not required. Participants should bring their own materials, paper, easels, and other tools, though a limited number of easels will be available. Those who cannot attend the listed dates are encouraged by the organizer to complete the interest form for future sessions.
