About this event
Course Description Light, volume, and color are crucial elements of the artistic world. In this class we will investigate these concepts with the figure. About this Workshop: In this figure drawing & painting workshop, participants will learn how to work with the figure using academic three-dimensional concepts. Form in art is a traditional concept invented prior to Monet’s “Painting Light” where the painter or draftsman sculpts volume as it relates to the light source, rather than optically. This figure workshop will cover the properties of form rendering, physics of light, optics, composition and how to express them in a conceptual manner. With an emphasis on the concepts of form and naturalism, academic techniques will be encouraged and guided through the various theories introduced as structural elements to this approach. As a result of this workshop student’s will have the focus of “being on the form” for truthful volume in their drawing or painting, while gaining a better understanding the figure. Working at their own pace, students will have the opportunity work from one life figure model 30 hours from start to finish. Short demonstrations, lectures, Q&A and guidance will be offered in the workshop. Beginning to advanced artists are welcome. Plan: •Day one: Block-in •Day two: Three-dimensional contour drawing. •Day three: Conceptual form modeling •Day four: Optics our good friend and enemy •Day five: Structure, anatomy, and “under modeling”
