Session Format

First 90 minutes: Guided instruction and exercises (without a model)

Second 90 minutes: Gesture drawing with a live nude model

Level: Suitable for beginner and intermediate artists

Maximum Enrollment: 12 participants

Instructors: Joshua Tuil & Hila Tuil


In this workshop, Joshua and Hila will guide participants through the foundations and expressive possibilities of gesture drawing. Working with a live nude model, artists will learn to capture movement, rhythm, and emotion through the human figure.

Rather than approaching drawing as a purely technical exercise, these sessions encourage participants to see the body as a dynamic interplay of energy, weight, balance and flow.  Students will learn to recognize and express the essential forces within a pose—tension and release, compression and extension, rhythm and asymmetry.

Through a combination of quick sketches and longer studies, participants will develop a stronger understanding of gesture, proportion, body mechanics, structure, volume, shading, line quality, and movement. Emphasis will be placed on simplifying the figure into clear, expressive forms while building confidence in capturing its living essence.

Whether you are new to figure drawing or looking to deepen an existing practice, these sessions offer an inspiring environment to strengthen observational skills, develop artistic confidence, and bring greater life and expression to your work. Technique and creativity grow together in a supportive and engaging studio setting.
