Students will travel to the world’s veritable birthplace of Art, to study figure painting and drawing from life, directly under master artist Noah Buchanan in the historic center of Florence, Italy.
The workshop will consist of two modes of learning experience:
- Drawing on site at cherished Florentine museums and locations; selected mornings from 11 - 1pm
- Developing a long pose figure painting from life in the studio; all afternoons from 2 - 6pm
Both sessions will consist of instructor demonstration as well as one on one instruction.
Morning sessions will meet at 6 special locations throughout central Florence where students will intensify their training in perceptual and sculpture drawing under the direct tutelage of Noah Buchanan, and will focus on making drawing copies of selected paintings.
