Museum School of the Provincetown Art Association and Museum

This workshop begins with quick warm-up sketches of the model, and progresses to a series of longer sketches as we revisit and “remake” the figure. You are encouraged to rework existing drawings, utilizing them as a surface to build and expand upon, also to develop a far more flexible and dynamic approach to drawing the figure, rather than focusing on a careful, finished “product.”
