(I liked) the instructor's ability to simplify the important concepts necessary to draw the human figure including foreshortening. (comment submitted online) Instructors attitude toward students, their objectives and their out put was positive and affirming....encouraging and accepting (comment submitted online) This was my first figure drawing class, I had no idea what to expect when I walked in the door. I felt comfortable at all times and I enjoyed the different skill levels in the class. I loved the teacher and overall I learned a great deal and had fun in the class. I would for sure recommend it to a friend! (comment submitted online) I liked learning techniques. Nils simplified the process so that drawing the figure is not so daunting to me any more. Great class! (comment submitted online) It was great, exactly what I was hoping for. I improved a lot and I understand the figure better now. - M.L., Seattle Thanks for the extra help with hands and feet. The class was excellent and I'll be back for some more in the future. - S.F., Seattle At LAST I understand about proportions!!!!! Thank you for explaining the difference between the three types. And it was nice having all the materials provided. - S.L., Seattle What I liked: the handouts, the lectures, the step by step stuff, the instructor's knowledge and organized approach. Disliked: no latte stand in the building! Okay, okay, I'll bring my own next time :) --O.E., Bellevue This was a great class for me. It went at an easy pace, but covered more than most figure drawing classes cover in a year. My wife mentioned the improvement in my drawings. - R.G., Seattle
Thank you so much for the class. I was one of those people who had never drawn before. Your method is great, it makes everything fast and easy. - Shelly H., Seattle Nils is well organized and presents the information stap by step so that everyone can keep up. There was a good balance between the parts where he was showing us how to do things, and the drawing periods when we could practice it. - S.B., Seattle I loved it, it was really fun. - K.A., Seattle
