Join artist James Martin for a two-day workshop exploring the Reilly Method of drawing the female figure—a painterly approach to figure drawing centered on rhythm, structure, and movement.
Through a series of step-by-step demonstrations, James will introduce a repeatable approach to drawing the figure in a variety of poses, helping students develop a more intuitive and artistic way of seeing the human form.
A Study in Rhythm, Structure & Movement
The workshop will move through a variety of poses and working times, from two-minute quick sketches to hour-long studies. Students will explore how abstract and anatomical rhythms can provide a foundation for understanding the figure while developing stronger observation and drawing skills.
Whether you're new to figure drawing or looking to deepen your existing practice, the workshop offers an opportunity to study alongside other artists and receive individual guidance at your own pace.
All levels are welcome.
