ONSITE: Master Drawing Workshop: Bargue Drawing Skills
In this weekend course we will learn all about accurately judging proportion and achieving likeness. We will copy the master drawings of 19th Century artist Charles Bargue, who created a drawing course that was popular in the ateliers and academies in Europe during that century. This knowledge is no longer off limits to women and people of color as it was back then, nor is it hidden away in the ateliers of today. By copying these drawings and then applying what you have learned to drawing from life, you will become a more confident artist.This class teaches essential realist techniques that will prepare you for the following classes: Traditional Figure Drawing, The Noir Portrait, and Secrets of Classical Drawing. This one day Saturday class can also be taken concurrently with those classes.
