THE ART OF LIFE DRAWING - 3 of 3
SATURDAY November 7th 2020
9:30am-4pm
Noosa Life Art Circle with Halina Paterson
Tewantin Uniting Church Hall
In the third workshop we will be focusing on
using negative spaces, foreshortening, accentuating lights and darks by negative drawing, considering tonal pathways and overall composition., then various ideas to transform our 'failures' by combining all the techniques learnt in the three workshops. If there is time we can begin using ink and then ink and wash.
This workshop brings together all the observation practice of the first two sessions as well as learning new measuring tools for foreshortening and different rendering methods. By putting it all together you are more in a position to choose which method of depicting the particular pose you see in front of you at any time to best portray its dominant features, or features of your choice. For example you now have a set of tools that allows you to ask yourself the question " How would this pose look best? Would it look better as a negatively rendered work, or a minimal line drawing , or a continuous contour line...or.... or "..
Halina has a thorough knowledge and experience of the techniques and has won prizes for her drawings. Her classes and workshops are informative and thorough. As well as learning a lot you are very likely to have fun.
