In this workshop with Mark Nunez, participants will examine Great Master figure drawing works. Examples after Raphael, Michelangelo, Rubens and more will be available to draw from. We will cover materials and their use, drawing basics of line, shape, structure/gesture, rhythms, and rendering. There will be a focus on more slow, deliberate constructive drawing rather than finished work. Form and gesture will be covered as we build our drawings in this 3 hour workshop.
Class begins with a short overview, discussion of past artists, and instructor tour of own artwork. Personal 1-on-1 instruction is provided throughout the evening.
Supplies provided, ALL levels welcome!
Hosted by Derelicts Digest, enjoy this free, all ages, event to share your work, meet your people and have a chance to perform your work.
