Lacey Lewis School of Realist Art
Figure Drawing Academy
Lacey has developed a clear and unique path to learning how to draw the figure that anyone at any ability level can achieve success with. You can do this without a studio or even a dedicated art space, any time of the day or night, and with very little in the way of materials. And, I will be there to personally guide you along the way with lessons, demonstrations, and direct feedback on your work.
16 Weeks - $675
Foundations of Drawing
This class is great for beginners as well as for artists who want to increase the sense of depth, form, and accuracy in their drawings or paintings. Techniques for creating a proportionally solid drawing, light logic, and how to create the illusion of depth and space are covered. Photographs, master artist’s drawings, and still lives are used to learn how to apply these concepts to both 2D and 3D references.

Lacey Lewis
Hi! My name is Lacey and I have loved drawing people since I was in my teens. I studied art in high school and continued on to get an Associates Degree in Studio Art at Onondaga Community College in Syracuse, NY. Even so, I consider myself primarily self-taught since like so many other realist artists today, I had to piece together my own self-education since the kind of skills I was seeking weren't commonly taught in colleges at the time. Plus, I had moved to Kansas, which was about as far from the ateliers as I could get.
