Florentine Figure Drawing with Grigor Chilingarian is a Hit !!!



The Artwork of Girgor Chilingarian is amazing but talking to him in person and guiding you to build craft the human body on a newsprint paper is priceless. when entering his class he will tell you to stand 5 feet away from the easel (a reference point) and to gaze at the model you are drawing. From there you begin to draw the human figure in simplified angeles, composing a counter of the human body. A process similar to sight sizing. Which increases your skills of observation. If your looking to for a remedy to help out your figure drawing needs. I highly recommend in taking his class.
