Course description:
Fundamentals of academic figure painting. An introduction to the manual, procedural, and analytical techniques of oil painting applied to the figure.
Schedule:
A three-week workshop. Tony demonstrates the painting 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" painting method. Students work on one painting for three weeks. After lunch the model resumes the demo pose and holds it for the rest of the day, with the usual breaks.
Non-symbolic painting, also known as form painting, represents what we actually see with our eyes, not substituting ideograms, like present day ‘emojis’. In learning to paint non-symbolically we develop an understanding of the building blocks of visual experience: form and the light by means of which we see this form.
Through the practice of non-symbolic painting we become aware that, in all of nature generally, and in the human figure and portrait particularly, there is a specific kind of formal structure. Among traditionally trained painters this formal structure has been known for centuries. We who practice non-symbolic painting from life study this knowledge.
Form painting is a way of painting that is one with this understanding of form and light. It is a methodical way of processing and representing our perception of the appearance of the model. Through the agency of light, a great quantity of information radiates from the model. In form painting we learn how to format and sequentialize this information and bring it into our paintings one brushstroke at a time.
In this figure painting workshop Tony demonstrates form painting on a toned ground, beginning with a medium-value ochre brush drawing. He demonstrates the block-in and the refinement of the drawing. He shows and explains how he sees, mixes and applies colors. He explains and demonstrates the logic of the method of painting from dark to light. He describes in great detail the forms of the body, their fluid shapes, convex surfaces and how they fit together. He shows how he builds the painting from the drawing up, painting each form from dark to light, unified by the perception of the organization of the form and the coherent action of the light.
