What you'll do
There's no feeling quite like watching a flat page transform into a living, breathing figure under your own hand! In this six-week figure drawing course, you'll work with a single live model across six sessions -- a rare and powerful structure that lets you build real depth, intimacy, and skill with the same pose over time. Guided by Gaby, you'll move from gesture and proportion through the physics of light and shadow, developing the tools to render convincing, three-dimensional form in graphite. The course unfolds in two parts: three weeks of line drawing to establish and refine your block-in, followed by three weeks of rendering, where light becomes your best friend and form really starts to sing. Daily demos and individual critiques mean you're never left guessing, and Gaby's hands-on guidance meets you exactly where you are.Designed for intermediate and advanced artists, this live model drawing class is one of those New York City activities that quietly changes how you see everything. If you've been searching for artistic activities that actually push your practice forward, this advanced drawing course is the kind of meaningful New York activity that turns patience and observation into something genuinely beautiful!

- Daily individual critiques from Gaby
- Physical graphite figure drawing (one model, same pose, six sessions)!
