23-24 FIGURE DRAWING MARATHON-from 10-5 pm. With Artist Katherine Sullivan. Drawing has been long recognized as the most basic foundation for the artist/painter. The reason is simple: drawing teaches you to "see". Seeing as an artist is different from seeing as a layman. An artist learns to read subtle information and make sense of it structurally. This includes wading through the plethora of optical illusions that mislead the eye if coped "as is". Katherine leads participants through the skills and information that all good draftsmen should know, using the human figure as guide. The workshop is designed as a drawing 'marathon', starting with a variety of quick sketches to long poses using different techniques and mediums. This is a great way for the beginner to understand the figure drawing process and also a great tool for the more experienced draftsman to push their technical abilities into a more creative for of art.
