Figure Drawing with Charcoal

$600
all levels

Henry has many years of experience in teaching drawing and painting at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California. This class focused on various techniques and styles in drawing human figures and portraits.

“I paint and I teach. I paint people, I paint landscapes and I paint anything that inspires me to mix colors and brush them on canvasses.

Galleries, private collectors and commissioned clients are those to whom my paintings went.
I teach drawing, I teach painting and I teach anything that my students like to share with me. Many years I have taught, and still I am teaching--full time--Academy of Art University --San Francisco.
I've seen energetic students, I've seen sleepy students, life is delicious--as long as one's happy.”

--Henry Yan

This workshop will be focused on both short and long pose charcoal drawings from life models. Different techniques mentioned in my book (Henry Yan’s Figure Drawing-Techniques and Tips) will also be introduced and practiced in class.

Other than techniques, students will also be encouraged to find their own way of seeking beauty from each pose when practice, and interpret what they found with a personal artistic approach instead of just copying.
