A quick note about drawing

Drawing is often the most demanding part—especially in figure work. Since this workshop is open to all levels, use a two-track approach:

• 
  Plan A (recommended): Do your own drawing during the session.
  
• 
  Plan B: If it goes off track (or if you’re completely new), use the printable preparatory drawing to transfer and move on to the painting process. Keep practicing drawing, but for this class it’s okay to shortcut to painting.
