THE FIGURE IN COLORED PENCIL
Monday - Thursday | 1 - 4 pm
August 10-13, 2026
Registration Deadline: August 7, 2026

Led by Instructor Alexandra Franz

In this 4-day intensive, participants will explore the n**e figure through observational drawing using colored pencils, developing both technical skills and a deeper understanding of color relationships, form, and structure.

While open to all, this course is especially well suited for high school students seeking to strengthen their portfolios for college applications, as well as college students looking to develop rigorous observational skills that support their academic work.

The class will instruct to your level, including basic accuracy with figure drawing, all the way to more complex color use, color mixing, and compositional planning.
