Portrait by Kristina Guison

Heads up! Kariton’s next drawing class focusing on Portraiture will be on Saturday, September 18 at 3 p.m.

Kariton Week 1: Gesture Drawing

Note: All videos require Adobe Flash to play. Click here to download.

Join KARITON for their first visual arts workshop this Saturday, August 21st.

This week’s focus is gesture drawing: an excellent practice for photographers, painters, filmmakers and animators to learn to capture the basic postures and the essence of movement. To keep it simple, gesture drawings would make your hangman look like the work of Michaelangelo when he was 5 years old.
