Figure Drawing
About
An all-levels figure drawing course working from the nude model, moving from the skeleton and simple geometric volumes through classical proportion measuring to light, shadow and edge quality, while also nudging students past straight naturalism. Fridays November 6 through December 18 (no class November 27), 6:30–9:30 pm, in AS Building room 1532 at North Seattle College, 9600 College Way N, about a 10-minute walk from Northgate Station (1 Line); the course also includes a required outing to the Pioneer Square First Thursday Art Walk on November 5. $230 plus supplies.

New to painting?
Painting and drawing classes run from relaxed one-night sessions that guide you to a finished canvas to multi-week courses in watercolour, oils, figure drawing or illustration.
- Guided one-night classes suit groups and first-timers; courses suit people who want to improve.
- Figure-drawing sessions use a live model and are usually for adults only.
- Materials are usually included in one-off classes; courses often send a supply list.
Taking it home: The same day, though acrylic and oil may need a few hours to dry before they travel well.
