October 9, 10, 11 2026
We could not be more excited to present this workshop with a master of the figure, Shane Wolf!
About Shane Wolf, in REALISM TODAY:
"Shane Wolf, founder of The Figure Society, is one of the rare masters of figurative art who upholds the tradition of working uniquely from life as long as it takes to create his works (no photographic references are ever used).
He says the lively exchanges between the models and the artist are essential to his art, allowing him to constantly evolve and invent new ways of exploring the power and beauty of the human form, and always Nude."
