Practice Sessions #1
“Practice Sessions” is a new series of courses directed to students that want to further practice and develop their skills in a variety of techniques and media.
The course is organized in 6 sessions, each of the duration of 1 ½ hours, during which the students will draw along with me as I draw or paint, demonstrating techniques and measuring methods for figure drawing, figure anatomy techniques and so on.
The first course is dedicated to Figure Anatomy, and it is an excellent practice for the students that want to refine the realism of figure drawing skills and particularly useful to those that want to keep practicing the notions learned in an Anatomy for Artists class or book, and apply them to the practice of figure drawing.
In this first course, we will virtually “dissect” and conceptualize a few figures, rendering them as basic volumes to study the effect of the light on the form, visualize the skeleton to understand the structural characteristics of the figure, create a 2D ecorche’ of the superficial muscular layers and a final figure drawing to practice tonal rendering.
