Figure Drawing Charcoal 1 | 110 FG
Discover the art of capturing the energy, movement, and expressive power of the human figure.
Rooted in the teaching philosophy of Studio Incamminati founder Nelson Shanks, this foundational course introduces students to the essential principles of realist figure drawing through direct observation of a live model.
Starting with quick gestural studies, students learn to capture a pose’s action and character with simple, expressive lines. As the course progresses, they develop their understanding of proportion, structure, and the relationship between light and shadow, gradually building toward more sustained drawings that convey both form and vitality.
Working with charcoal on toned paper, students receive hands-on instruction, demonstrations, and critiques designed to strengthen their observational skills and build a foundation for more advanced drawing and painting. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed not simply on reproducing what the eye sees, but on developing the technical skills to communicate the character and expressive qualities of the human figure.
Whether you’re new to figure drawing, looking to strengthen your fundamentals, or exploring more intensive artistic study, this course offers an introduction to Studio Incamminati’s distinctive approach to realist art.
