The essence of life drawing lies in capturing the spirit of the subject. This workshop explores various processes and mediums designed to release and express energy in drawing. Each process is short in duration and you can expect to produce a large quantity of drawings, working primarily from a model. In addition, we’ll extrapolate life from inanimate objects, and reference the history of gesture drawing, including background on other artists’ methods.
The media for this workshop are: charcoal, pen, ink, and wash on newsprint, rag, and cold press watercolor paper. This type of work produces a vital group dynamic and you can expect to engage in class discussions as the workshop progresses.
