Advanced nude drawing deepens the use of various techniques: Pencil, charcoal, ink, watercolor or acrylic paint. These different techniques can also be combined. You may find a way of expression that suits you.
The model work aims at the discovery of a personal form of expression in the drawing/painting dialog between the participants and their model. The imitative (mimetic) drawing gives more space to the creative (projective) drawing. From depicting to forming.
