with models

Mondays

INSTRUCTOR: Cullen Peck

MEDIUM: Pencil/Graphite

This weekly evening class will give participants -- from beginners to professionals alike -- the opportunity to learn techniques and tools in a classical approach to drawing the figure.

Each week instructor Cullen Peck will focus on a specific aspect of figure drawing such as proportion, line weight, composition, materials, light, among others. Participants will have the opportunity to use materials they are familiar with or explore new and unfamiliar materials while drawing from the live figure, and will be provided with constructive critique and observation based on individual needs and interests. The class will begin with a brief demonstration each week and then continue through short, gestural poses to mid length poses, and end in a final long pose.

Willow charcoal

Artist Cullen Peck studied renaissance style figure drawing with Florentine liturgical sculptor Dr. Alan Pascuzzi and renowned Roman painter Roberto Caracciolo while at NYU, working both from the model and in museums such as the Uffizi and Musei dei Vaticani using exclusively renaissance technique and materials. She then studied figurative painting at the Academia delle Belle Arti in Florence, Italy. She currently works as a figurative painter and has work in collections across the US, Canada, and Europe.
