This course combines drawing from the live model with brief, easy-to-understand lectures on anatomy. Each session will include a combination of long and short poses. Attention will be given to proportion, the structure of bones and muscles, capturing a likeness, and emphatic gesture drawings. Students will develop a deep understanding of how the body works while they practice drawing with assertion and feeling.
NOTE: THERE IS A $50 LIVE MODEL FEE FOR THIS CLASS. PLEASE SELECT THE ADD-ON BELOW.
My practice draws heavily on the experience of observing the people, interiors, and landscapes that I find around me. The task of transfiguring my perceptions of the world into oil is deeply rewarding to me, and I see myself as a painter-translator, rendering the ineffable qualities of my life around me into paint and pencil. When I work from life, I am concerned not just with my motif, but with the way all of the paint fits together as a puzzle. It almost takes on a life of its own, the paint as a mud on the surface. It is this balancing act, between faithfully rendering the motif and considering the paint beyond just the image, which motivates my continued working from observation. It is practicing pure presence with my subject.
