Barbara Fugate – On Gesture Drawing (Online); Friday, June 27, 2025

Date: Friday, June 27, 2025
Time: 2:00-3:30PM Pacific Time/5:00-6:30 PM Eastern Time/10:00-11:30 PM London Time
Medium: Drawing

A Gesture drawing takes seconds to make, but years of practice to do well.  It requires that you draw beyond what you think you see and do it with speed, accuracy, and compassion all at once.  Gesture drawings capture energy, spirit, action, and expression rather than the likeness of a person.  Join Barbara for a discussion on what she believes Gesture Drawing to be about, view examples, and watch a video of her making Gesture drawings, too.

Barbara Fugate is a painter committed to making drawings and paintings that express life rather than imitate it. Discovering and experiencing “how things are” rather than “what they are” continues to inspire and drive Fugate’s art and art instruction. Fugate received a BFA from Western Kentucky University and a MFA in painting from Miami University of Ohio. Fugate has taught expressive drawing and painting classes and workshops in Seattle, as well as international workshops for over 25 years. Schools where Fugate has taught include Gage Academy of Art, Seattle Pacific University, Metchosin International Summer School of the Arts (Victoria, BC), La Conner Art Workshops, as well as her own Seattle Weekend Art Workshops. Fugate’s artwork is published in “The Best of Drawing and Sketching” by Terry Sullivan, “Landscape Painting” by Mitchell Albala, and Margaret Davidson’s book, “Contemporary Drawing”.

About Our Technique Takeaways: 

  • Discover techniques you can ‘take away’ from some of your favorite artists and apply to your own work. This one-and-a-half hour presentation will showcase a process that the artist incorporates in their art practice.  Instruction will be through a combination of lecture and demonstration by the artists.
  • You will receive and email with a link to the class page where you will find the Zoom link, class recording and other important information for this class no later than the night before the class.  (Don’t forget to check your junk folder).
  • You can also access the Zoom link and recording directly on the class page in your Online Classroom.
  • The recording will be posted within 24 hours after the event. You will have access to the recording for one year after the class unless otherwise specified clearly in the class description, on the catalog pages and in the shopping cart.  If an instructor wishes their recordings to be available for less than a year, we defer to instructor preferences. 
  • Technique Takeaways are non-refundable.
  • To participate live, you will need a Zoom enabled computer OR iPad/smart tablet OR smart phone (android or IOS) and a strong internet connection.
