Pick up a pencil and discover the art of figure drawing! This beginner figure drawing class in NYC is made for anyone, including beginners who want to experience a new artistic hobby. A professional artist and art educator guides you step by step through the art of human figure drawing.
You'll start with gesture drawing to capture movement, then build up line, proportion, and composition. Next, you'll explore shading, tone, and cross-hatching to give your figures real dimension. Personalized one-on-one feedback keeps you encouraged and confident, whether you're brand new or returning after years away. We have a Fear-Free approach, which means there's no pressure to be "good at drawing" -- just room to experiment at your own pace.
All materials are included, so you can simply show up and start sketching. Come solo or bring a friend and unplug to experience one of the most rewarding adult art classes NYC has going. Searching for things to do in NYC this weekend, fun date ideas, or creative outings with friends? Grab a seat and let your creativity take shape!
