An Approach to Figure Painting
Workshop | Available
In this workshop, students will paint a figure from life over the course of four days, and discuss choices for choosing the pose, composition, color harmony, lighting, pacing, and bringing the painting to a solid level of resolve. Joseph will discuss the language of describing paint and demonstrate his approach by painting along and illustrating his aesthetic, ideas, and philosophy. Plenty of individual guidance is provided. Some previous drawing experience is recommended. www.todorovitch.com
