Life Drawing

with Ed Higgins

Oct

Next session: October 23rd to November 20th, 2026

$95 More Info

You will work from a live (clothed) model, starting with shorter gesture poses to loosen up, followed by longer poses. There is no better way to learn to draw the human form than to work with a live model. This is not a media dependent class. You may work with any media you prefer. The instructor will supply paper and pencils, conté crayons or charcoal, or you can bring your own. The instructor recommends an easel, but only has 3 or 4 for use. In addition to the registration fee, you will be expected to tip the model at the end of each class (all models accept cash or Venmo). Contact Ed Higgins directly with any questions ed_higgins@icloud.com.
