Drawing from the Senses (Back by request!)
January 29 & 30 / Class fee: $225
Sat & Sun, 10 AM – 5 PM including a 1-hr lunch break
Location: Youngstown Cultural Arts Center, West Seattle
In response to several requests, I’m happy to offer this unique workshop again (last taught in 2007). “Drawing from the Senses” engages our sense of touch, sound, and sight while drawing from the live model. Drawing is not only a visual experience, it engages all of our senses and we can use them to draw more effectively and sensitively. We will make many Gesture drawings and some longer studies focusing on individual senses to expand the kind of marks we make and unleash the imagination. This weekend workshop is a great way to break habits, challenge your visual vocabulary, and discover new ways to create even more dynamic and accurate figure drawings. All Levels Welcomed. Charcoal and Drawing Ink Wash.

Dynamic Figure Drawing & Yoga Retreat on Guemes Island, WA, All Levels
February 25-27 —Friday night through Sunday afternoon
Class fee: $290 (includes yoga and drawing instruction) plus $10 for two breakfasts
Barbara Fugate, Drawing Instructor; Tammie Winter, Yoga Instructor
This special retreat is held on the lovely San Juan Island, Guemes Island, near Anacortes WA. This workshop combines yoga and drawing to strengthen our physical and mental connection within ourselves and our art.
Barbara teaches with yoga instructor Tammie Winter from San Francisco, CA. Tammie leads a yoga practice before and after the drawing sessions to energize, balance, and stretch out any tensions. Barbara guides you as you draw from the figure, exploring gesture, line, shadow shapes, and movement. Charcoal, ink wash and limited soft pastel colors will be used.
Friday evening Tammie begins the retreat with a 1-hour calming and centering yoga session. Saturday begins with 1-hour of yoga followed by a breakfast buffet. Drawing commences afterwards with Barbara for 5 hours. Yoga ends the day with more stretching, balance and breathing practice for 1-hour. A similar schedule follows on Sunday. All levels in yoga and drawing are welcomed and accommodated. Email Barbara soon for assistance with lodging on Guemes Island.
