| The essence of life drawing lies in capturing the spirit of the subject. This workshop will explore various processes and mediums designed to release and express energy in drawing. Each process will be short in duration and participants can expect to produce a large quantity of drawings, working primarily from a model. In addition, this class will explore extrapolating life from inanimate objects. There will be some reference to the history of gesture drawing, including some background on other artists’ methods. The media for this workshop will be charcoal, pen and ink, and wash on newsprint, rag, and cold press watercolor paper. This type of work produces a vital group dynamic and participants can expect to engage in class discussions as the workshop progresses.
Directions to the artist’s studio will be supplied upon registration.
