During these (nude) model sessions, you will explore a new perspective on the human body. Through playful sketching exercises, we will intuitively discover how to capture the model on paper. Using examples from our own collection, we will gradually learn how to represent volume, light, and shadow.
This series is linked to the temporary exhibition Donas and Archipenko. You can join as a beginner or as an experienced artist looking to refresh the fundamentals.
Be inspired by the professional models and by each other, and look with fresh eyes at this age-old subject in the art world. The model continues to fascinate.
