I"ll be teaching a 1-day, figurative workshop at the Calgary School of Art on Saturday, September 20 and I hope you'll join me. Here's what it's all about:
To the painters who have told me they "can't even draw
a stick man", this workshop is for you.
To the artists whose figures look wooden, this workshop is
for you.
To the landscape painters who have always wanted to try
painting people, this workshop is for you.
To the figurative painters who want to loosen up, this
workshop is for you.
Join me for a thrilling and engrossing day of life painting
that holds something for every painter.
We'll work from a clothed model and tackle several poses so you'll get
lots of practise in turning paint on canvas into a graceful, believable
figure.
-I'll teach you how to achieve proper proportion without
preliminary drawing and how to suggest the hands and face without becoming
precious.
-You'll learn to capture a gesture with boldness and
confidence, and how to integrate a figure into its environment.
-And you'll feel the joy and challenges of working from
life.
Suitable for oil and acrylic painters with some
experience. Demonstrations will be in
oil.
**you can register through the Calgary School of Art website. I hope to see you there!
