FIGURE DRAWING with DANIEL TORETSKY

Figure Drawing with Daniel Toretsky We’re very excited to introduce a new monthly series at Kiki & Bouba Craft Lab: Figure Drawing, led each month by a different guest artist whose work and practice we admire. Rather than following one set approach to figure drawing, each guest artist will lead the class through their own way of observing and drawing the human body, sharing the exercises, techniques, and prompts that make up their personal practice. Think of it as a chance to draw alongside an artist you admire and learn how they see. For our inaugural class, we’re thrilled to welcome Daniel Toretsky, an artist, teacher, exhibit designer, architect, and prolific sketcher. Daniel has a rigorous drawing practice and can often be found sketching wherever he goes, making him the perfect artist to kick off the series. Daniel will guide us through a series of figure drawing exercises using a live model, sharing his approach to observation, gesture, proportion, and capturing the human form. The class is open to all skill levels, whether you draw regularly or haven’t picked up a pencil in years. Our Figure Drawing series will be a little more relaxed than our usual Kiki & Bouba workshops, with a slightly larger group and plenty of time to draw. Light refreshments including wine and tea will be served during a mid-workshop break. Come ready to loosen up, experiment, and spend an evening drawing together.
