Description

Do you love figure drawing, but you often feel like your figures seem to lack life?

Do you wish you could be more loose and expressive in your drawings?

What if you could fix “flat drawings” once and for all; what if you could tap into your flow state for drawing every time you draw

….And what if you knew that every time you draw, you are fully expressing your unique and personal drawing language?

I have been drawing the figure, and teaching figure drawing for over 20 years. One of the biggest challenges that I see so many figure drawing artists face, is being able to draw loose, expressive and dynamic figures. But I have a proven system for breaking through these blocks that I would love to share with you. This short course BLASTS THROUGH drawing blocks. I created it with no extra padding or fillers. Just the most essential and direct information to quickly transform your drawing!


What past students say about my teaching:

"This is an excellent lecturer. Life Drawing is something I've wanted to do for a bit and thought that I didn't have the skills"


"Very well put together and well presented, offered excellent insights and explanations, as well as demonstrations of approaches and methods."


"Siobhan offers a thorough approach to figure drawing, and one that makes more sense than some others I have seen. Practice is vital, and I can see a good reason to come back to this course from time to time and take the whole thing again to reinforce the concepts."


"Siobhan focuses heavily on finding your inner expression rather than a routine “how to draw anatomy” course. As a result, it is a much deeper exploration of how you, as an artist, can make marks on the page that are truly your own. At the end of the lessons, I think it has the potential to profoundly change how you look at what it is to create art. Each lesson builds on the last in bite-size chunks and, although the entire length of the course is relatively short, it sets you up for success by teaching effecive practice techniques."
