Drawing is the foundation of all successful representational life painting. The goal of this workshop is to lay a foundation and clear methodology for both drawing and painting the human figure from life. The four-week intensive workshop will be dedicated to a thorough program of life drawing and painting from the human figure. One week will be devoted to the head (and its features); and one week to the figure as a preparation subsequent two-week life figure painting. There will be lectures and demonstrations for each morning session to review clear objectives that will be set forth during the day. As drawing exercises, we will analyze the head and figures gesture, proportion, shape, and structure, for the successful outcome of modeling form. Several sessions will be dedicated to short poses. This is to reinforce the importance of gaining more control of our drawing by learning to not only draw what we see, but to draw what we know.
In the figure Painting aspect of the workshop we will begin by studying basic color theory by reviewing the color wheel and how it applies to the human figure. A palette will then be set up to give the student a solid basis for their color mixing. Lectures and demonstrations will be given on light, form, color, direct and indirect painting. The students will transfer (or refer to) the life drawing study from the second week as a basis for their subsequent life painting. This will maximize their ability to concentrate on the modeling of form through hue, value and chroma.

“That was such a great workshop with Jon. I loved it. Thank you for inviting him to Bacaa. He is such an amazing teacher. “Wendy Johnson.
“I thoroughly enjoyed Jon’s workshop. I learned a lot, met interesting people, got to spend enough time focused on drawing to make good progress and have exercises to practice that will make the week all the more valuable. All and all a great experience.
Many people have visionary ideas. Few do anything about them. Only a few of the few make their ideas happen. Your vision of gathering together artists and students to pass the knowledge and traditions along came alive last week. I congratulate you for putting it all together and making it work so well.
My thanks and best wishes,
Joe”
