Human Figure Drawing and Painting course, based on the figurative tradition of the Great Masters.

At the Barcelona Academy of Art, we consider drawing the most important element and starting point for any artistic development. In this course, students initially focus on developing a sketch, practicing, and applying the knowledge of pose, gesture, proportion, and precision. First using charcoal and later moving on to oil painting, the students will work from a life model, alternating long poses and short poses with a theoretical basis.
