If you are an artist who is passionate about working with the figure, you will love this workshop. Designed for continuing and advanced artists, you will explore expressing the figure in a way that expresses intuitive and personal vision - visual storytelling with the figure as the main protagonist.
You will bring figure sketches and studies to use as references for this experimental approach to contemporary figure work that utilizes collage and multiple mixed media. Each class will begin with warm-up exercises that delve in to moods, atmosphere, and symbols.
This is a workshop devoted to expressing feelings about our humanity, its current predicaments, and its joys. It will enrich and expand your personal practice with a combination of exercises, discussions, and very focused time to paint your subjective vision.
