Gesture, Rhythm, and Flow in Figure Drawing with Brenno KenjiSaturday, August 3rd, 10 am-5 pm
$200 We are so excited to welcome Brenno Kenji to teach a one-day workshop. Most key decisions are made within the first 5 minutes when drawing from life. How do we start a drawing in a way that captures the original freshness and excitement of the pose? How do we ensure that we maintain the driving momentum as we build on a (hopefully) strong start? How do we be clear about our intentions and make a drawing that articulates our expression rather than rambling marks on paper? |
