USk Workshop: How to Draw Expressive Figures

Join Oliver in San Francisco’s colorful Dolores Park, San Francisco, USA to people watch and learn approaches to capture their personality with confidence and detail. You will learn a cut and paste method that allows for more time to draw a figure. We will use this technique to prioritize the parts of the subjects that are essential and tell their story.

The setting could not be better. The flamboyant Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (google it!) are celebrating their 40th anniversary, an event bound to attract a diverse crowd. A sketchers delight.

You will learn:

– Become more confident in drawing (moving) figures in their environment.

– Understand how to disassemble figures into parts

– Become comfortable combining parts from disparate figures to tell a story

– Have a roadmap for future self directed exploration
