Figure Drawing Intensive

Immerse yourself in drawing in an afternoon of drawing with a dynamic and popular teacher who will bring out your best. Using any media, draw from a live model and see the subject and your own work in new ways and with new inspiration.

Beginners and seasoned artists alike have enjoyed these intensive workshops with Robert Siegelman.

NOTE: These workshops replace our Figure Drawing Marathons from previous years.
