Figure Drawing in Pencil:
Medium: graphite and white chalk pencils on tinted drawing paper.
Course description:
Fundamentals of academic figure drawing. An introduction to the manual, procedural, and analytical techniques of drawing applied to the figure.
Schedule:
A five-day workshop. Tony demonstrates the drawing process each day from the beginning of class until lunch break (2.25 hrs.) He works with students individually during the afternoon session (3 hrs.) This is a "long pose" drawing method. Students work on one drawing all week. After lunch the model resumes the demo pose and holds it for the rest of the day, with the usual breaks.
Form, Light, and the Human Figure:
This drawing workshop is for students wishing to develop an understanding of the classical tradition of figure drawing. The human figure is an infinitely rich subject. It has been said that "If you can learn to draw and paint the figure, you can draw and paint anything." For centuries artists have trained themselves by studying the complex form of the body, and its associated pattern of light and shade. Participants in this five-day workshop will be introduced to a refined, articulate drawing style. The focus will be on patience, craft, observation, and understanding of drawing principles. Students will learn a practical drawing method that serves as a framework in which to study the elements of drawing. Drawings are built up methodically through a succession of linear and tonal stages. Each stage in particular embodies and exemplifies one or more universal aesthetic principle: wholeness, simplicity, connection, fluidity, dynamism, volume, structure, organization, and finally the phenomenon of visual experience itself.
Tony Ryder is an able and energetic instructor with nearly forty years experience teaching drawing from life.
