MASTER CLASS IN FIGURE DRAWING

John Viljoen

Skillful figure drawing is at the core of any serious art student’s training. In this program, class time will be divided between lectures, demonstrations and drawing from the model. The instructor will demonstrate how to capture the gestural curve of a pose while maintaining an accurate drawing through the process of drawing a basic envelope, blocking in the form, contour and shading. Students will take figure drawings to various stages of completion as they learn about the structure of the body. Each student receives individual attention at his or her drawing board or easel.

  • This is an ARC approved Atelier course.

MASTER CLASS IN PORTRAITURE

John Viljoen

Live and accurate portrait painting or drawing is the greatest challenge an artist can face. To paint a person clearly and simply, with beauty and strength, to paint the humanity inside the person through their outer body is the hardest and greatest goal. To render with the skills of past masters while still feeling fresh, to capture a portrait that feels like it is alive and full of intelligence and emotion, is to jump into the world of the great artists of times past. The only pre-requisites for this course are a serious work ethic and a sincere desire to learn.
