Will Barnet-Inspired Figure Drawing Workshop

About this event

Explore AMFA’s exhibition Will Barnet: Seasons of Life and create drawings inspired by the expressive portrayal of the human figure. Experiment with charcoal, graphite, and pastels while developing your drawing techniques. The workshop includes a live model session, providing the opportunity to apply these skills through direct observation. Whether you are a beginner or refining your skills, you will enjoy receiving expert instruction and practical guidance to capture a moment in time. Students must be 18+ to attend, as the workshop will feature an undraped model. The Windgate Art School is generously supported by the Windgate Foundation with additional support from Sherry Worthen in memory of George Worthen. The Windgate Art School’s Reduced Tuition Program is supported by Michael Laughter. Reduced tuition is automatically applied to all classes through 2026.
