Pencil Drawing and Painting

In the Human Figure Drawing and Painting evening courses, each session features a new model maintaining the same pose for 2 hours.

Sessions are held on Monday and Tuesday from 5:30pm to 7:30pm, and on Wednesday and Thursday from 6pm to 8pm. Students have the option to register for one or more days, but it must be the same day(s) throughout the 11-week term.

The main objective is learning the process of constructing the human figure following the school's academic methodologies, including the Sight-Size and Comparative methods. Students begin by sketching on DIN-A4 paper with a graphite pencil. Drawing forms the backbone of the academic process at the Barcelona Academy of Art. Without a solid foundation in drawing, most of the challenges encountered throughout an artistic career become significantly harder to overcome. Only when the student demonstrates mastery of drawing techniques according to the academic methodologies we employ at our school will they be ready to progress to painting.

This is a practical course where each student works on drawing a live model. The instructor gives personalized feedback, checking in with each student once per session to offer specific guidance. The course is not theoretical or focused on constant supervision; it’s designed to encourage independent practice with support from the instructor.
