The Figure Intensive:

Figure Drawing and Painting - with anatomy

Instructor

The Figure Intensive may be taken as a joint package of the two classes at discount rate, or individually, at our regular pricing.

Zeller teaches a system of figure drawing and painting that emphasizes form, structure and anatomy. His classes begin with a lecture on a specific part of human anatomy, followed by a few short poses that emphasize the anatomy lesson, followed by one long pose for the rest of the class. The long pose is the same for the entire session, some lasting between 12 and 24 weeks.
We begin by learning to convert the great masses of the body into specific shapes, using both linear contour and structural building blocks. Different types of classical proportions will be discussed, as well as different methods of measuring in a perceptual manner. One of the main goals of this course is to teach the artist to see the body as having architectural structure, and understanding how to translate that concept into 2 dimensional form.

Following in the footsteps of some of the most effective atelier instructors, Rob Zeller works alongside his students. He not only offers serious and thorough instruction, he draws and paints from the live model with his students, to better demonstrate the techniques he is encouraging them to use. He feels that a great teacher must demonstrate his ability in-person, and that talking a good game is not enough.
