Our Daily Life Drawing Sessions offer free, timed reference videos that provide artists the opportunity to practice figure drawing from images of live models. We’ve enhanced this well-loved resource with an exciting new feature—demonstrations by your New Masters Academy instructors! In this edition, master artist Glenn Vilppu draws alongside you, focusing on Daily Life Drawing Sessions. Glenn imparts his insights on the various poses, illustrating how the core principles of gesture and structure are consistent across different mediums. He showcases his techniques using a fountain pen, watercolor, and pencil.

To optimize your educational experience, we suggest participating in the drawing sessions independently before viewing Glenn’s demonstrations. This approach allows you to reflect on your artistic choices and directly compare them with Glenn’s techniques, deepening your understanding and mastery of figure drawing.
