THIS CLASS IS TAUGHT IN PERSON AT OUR STUDIO IN OYSTER BAY, NY
MAXIMUM OF 5 STUDENTS PER WEEK
A class designed for artists of all levels of experience
In Foundations of Figure Drawing and Painting students first study how the figure is made of up of simple geometric shapes and planes. Then, working from a live model, students will learn a system of drawing and painting that includes rhythm, proportion, structure, anatomy, form and color in a manner that is easy to grasp for artists at any level.
Each week will feature short poses to work on a given concept, and one longer pose that will last for the entire session. Students can expect to get one finished drawing per session, and many short sketches and anatomical notes. Artist will draw, then paint monochromatically, then paint in full color.
5 essential concepts will be taught:
1. Gesture and rhythm of the pose
2. Basic proportions and geometry of the figure
3. Blocking-in using anatomy and a specific understanding of light and shadow
4. Modeling form
5. Finishing and refining touches
