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.
$40 for one year

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.

About Our Past Technique Takeaways:
Discover specific art techniques that you can ‘take away’ from some of your favorite artists and apply to your own work. This one-and-a-half hour recorded presentation will showcase a process that the artist incorporates in their art practice. Instruction will be through a combination of lecture and demonstration.
You’ll be able to watch the class recording as many times as you would like for one year unless otherwise specified in the product description. (If an instructor wishes their recordings to be available for less than a year, we defer to instructor preferences.) There are no ongoing charges and your access will automatically end.
A link to the recording will be included in your on-screen purchase confirmation, in your purchase confirmation email and on your Online Classrooms page.
(There is no Zoom link for this event because it has already taken place).
