Sketching Raphael
Bring Raphael’s Cartoons to life, exploring gesture, form, and storytelling through drawing.
Join us for an immersive, one-hour sketching session in the presence of one of the great masterworks of the High Renaissance.
Two models will bring Raphael's Cartoons to life, translating details from the paintings into dynamic poses for you to draw. Guided by artist Leo Crane, you'll explore how Raphael manipulates the figure to build compositions of breathtaking drama, transforming form and gesture into narrative and emotion through your own drawings.
Open to all. No prior experience necessary. All materials provided.
