Glenn Vilppu is an internationally renowned draftsman, painter, and instructor. In this class, students will learn Glenn’s world-famous approach to drawing the figure. He will teach a Renaissance approach that emphasizes gesture and movement. You will learn to analyze movement and form, not just copy it, which allows you to work better from imagination. You will also learn how to use simple forms like spheres, cylinders, and boxes to build solid, three-dimensional figures.

Full Access Participants will be working alongside Glenn from weekly rotating models. Glenn’s work will be recorded live, as well as broadcast to large displays so you can follow along no matter where you’re positioned in the studio. The recordings from each class will be published within 48 hours of class ending so that you can review all material including material you may have missed. Participants will benefit from Glenn’s generous teaching style with one-on-one critiques of your classwork.

Participants attending the class with the Online Streaming Only pass will also get access to the full video recordings from class as well as critiques. Online participants will work from high quality model photos that will be provided on the class page each week. You can upload photos of your weekly work into the class chatroom and get a full critique from Glenn during the following week’s class. You can watch the recordings on your own time, and you do not have to participate in the critiques if you don’t want to.

All students will receive online access to the class recording and reference images for one year. This is helpful to reinforce the principles of each week, and to catch any concepts you may have missed the first time around.
