Nude drawing or portrait drawing in Leipzig

What can you expect in the Nude Drawing/Portrait Drawing course in Leipzig?

In the nude drawing course, you will learn to look at the human figure artistically and draw it on paper. Correct vision is practiced and a sense of proportion is developed. The course instructor shows how to approach this very challenging topic... and find solutions either in a very naturalistic way or in an abstract way. You paint with pencil, ballpoint pen, fineliner, charcoal or ink, for example. Each participant is very welcome to try out different painting tools and, if necessary, combine them with each other.

It is important to us that - also out of respect for the model - be drawn with pleasure but also with seriousness. After consultation, it can be decided together which model will be booked for the course.

In the Portrait Drawing course, the focus is solely on the face. The course instructor will explain the basic principles and how vision is trained here too through close observation. The aim is to develop a drawing that is similar to the model and is coherent. As in a nude drawing course, you can experiment with very different techniques (pencil, ballpoint pen, ink, etc.).

Both courses are intended for beginners and/or advanced users. Both courses work with a “real” model.
