This class teaches essential Realist techniques.
Students will learn essential Realist, academic techniques in an encouraging open environment conducive to learning. In this workshop we will learn all about accurately judging proportion and achieving a likeness. We will copy the master drawings of 19th Century artist Charles Bargue, who created a drawing course that was popular in the ateliers and academies in Europe during that century. The painter Vincent Van Gough taught himself to draw using the Bargue drawing course.
By copying these drawings and then applying what you have learned to drawing from life you will become a more confident artist. Suitable for beginners and artists at all levels (1 day of 5 hours or 2-day workshop).
