OVERVIEW
This workshop is based on the most extensive research into the principles and process of academic drawing, as practiced at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and other 19th century schools.
Inspired by the teaching of Gérôme, Yvon, Lefebvre, Boulanger and other academic masters, we'll begin by capturing the proportions, movement and character of the figure in a clean, simple block-in. From there, we'll learn how model large forms and add anatomical complexity quickly and efficiently using charcoal, crayon and stumps.
By the end of this course, you'll have the knowledge to create beautiful finished drawings with freedom, accuracy and speed, along with a great foundation for figure painting!
