Teacher:
Richard Houston

Join artist and educator Richard Houston for a series of drawing classes exploring costume and draping of the clothed figure in the Norton Simon collections. Using artworks in the Museum’s Renaissance and Baroque galleries, participants learn how to design and draw the costumed figure.

Have you ever wondered if your drawing is complete or how you would even judge the quality of your drawing? For the final session, we will discuss strategies and analyze the elements necessary for successfully finishing a costumed drawing. Participants will engage with paintings by Italian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo.
