Unlock your artistic potential with our Free Figure Drawing Class, designed specifically for teens and adults (ages 14+). Whether you are a complete beginner looking to learn the basics or an experienced artist wanting to sharpen your observation skills, this welcoming, supportive session is the perfect opportunity to practice drawing the human form.
What to Expect
Clothed Model Sessions: All poses will feature fully clothed models (non-nude), focusing on capturing human proportions, posture, gesture, and drapery/clothing folds.
Skill Development: Learn fundamental observational techniques, including gesture sketching, structural proportion, line weight, and shading.
Self-Paced Practice: Enjoy a relaxed, non-judgmental studio environment where you can work at your own speed with guidance available.
Materials:
Students are welcome to bring their own drawing supplies—such as paper, drawing pads, pencils, or charcoal. Don’t worry if you don’t have your own; we provide free materials for anyone who needs them!

Bio:
Junke graduated from the University of Washington in 2023 with a bachelor’s degree in Art, concentrating in traditional painting and drawing. She has continued practicing drawing and painting since graduation, with a particular interest in representational and figurative work. Beyond technical training, her practice has shaped the way she sees and experiences the world, teaching her to look more closely and with greater curiosity. She hopes to create a welcoming environment where students can develop their observational skills, experiment freely, and discover their own ways of seeing and expressing themselves.
