Union Collaborative- Live Figure Drawing For Adults

A line begins with looking.

Before graphite touches paper, before charcoal leaves its dust, before ink becomes a gesture, something quieter happens.

We look.

At the weight of a body.
The bend of an arm.
Where one form disappears behind another.
The spaces in between.
The line we think we see and the one that is actually there.

In a world that asks us to move quickly, sustained attention has become a practice in itself. Hand + Eye × 10 creates space for that practice. For three hours, we gather around the human figure and draw from life. Some arrive with years of experience. Others haven’t drawn since school. Some work carefully. Others chase the gesture before it disappears.

There is no single way to see the figure and therefore no single way to draw it. That is part of what continues to fascinate us about these sessions. Ten people can sit around the same muse, share the same afternoon, and leave with ten completely different records of what they saw.

Perhaps drawing isn’t only about learning to make better marks. Perhaps it is also about learning to notice more.
