  • Figure Drawing (Four Week Pose)

    Our teacher was lovely, I learned so much in only a month's time. I really hope she does more classes in the future, maybe something longer or multiple times in one week. I am thoroughly impressed and so so thankful. Because of this experience I will be using CourseHorse a ton more.

    Gabby was wonderful, and the space was very inspiring to work in over the month. Every student improved throughout the course.

    Simon is a true professional and a patient, encouraging teacher! I came into this class with an enjoyment for drawing but no formal education or experience and walked out feeling like I had a solid grasp of the foundations of figure drawing. The class is long but you get a couple of breaks and the format follows a very sensible mix of lecture and putting what you just learned into practice. Definitely ok for people w/o experience or who think they can't draw - Simon will show you that you can!

    Great teacher! The set up was also super conducive to learning. I actually feel like I learned a lot and it made me want to keep drawing even after the class. The only thing I would change about this class is that I wish we had had more time at the end to draw more poses. Highly recommend this class if you want to learn the basics of figure drawing!

    It is not easy and Simon doesn't sell it as so--but breaks it down into an approachable system. I thought he was wonderful and approachable, too. You get the idea that he is enjoying the process of teaching something he has a passion for. Nice.

    Simon is an excellent instructor. I learned a huge amount in four hours. But the class is big and there's not much chance for individual instruction.
