Observational Figure Drawing - long pose
Informed by the atelier tradition this class will cover fundamental drawing strategies and a structured approach that will help you advance as an artist.
Each session features one long pose that starts with a structured “ block-in “ drawing to establish a strong gesture, accurate likeness, proportion, contour, attention to anatomical points and mapping of light/darks in 2-D. All important prerequisites for modeling the form and completing a figure drawing to higher degrees of finish, depth and realism.
The final steps in drawing the figure are accomplished by thinking in sculptural terms about drawing, understanding concepts of light and form, drawing correct values, 3-D modeling and clean technique.
Class includes lecture, handouts, individualized instruction and critique.
