Description
Instructor: Erin Pedati
In this workshop, attendees will learn a variety of traditional and playful mark-making techniques and ideas to create their own figure-based art.
Core concepts and skills to be developed:
- Capturing the energy of a pose/model
- Basic anatomy/structure
- Fluidity/flexibility of materials
- Sense of expression/play
- Importance of generating one’s own mark
- Understanding of texture/scale/mood/color
Students will walk away with an overview of figurative abstraction, looking to female painters such as Jennifer Packer, Marlene Dumas, and Joan Brown as inspiration, and confidence in their own ability to draw/paint the most challenging subject, the human body.
Class size is limited, so register soon. The Zoom link information will be on your registration confirmation.
Supply List:
- Acrylic or watercolor paint
- Late gloves (optional)
- Straws
- Brushes (any kind/size)
- Sponges, cling wrap, old rag/t-shirts, (basically any unique mark-making devise you have. This is a great way to play with old cosmetics brushes/sponges/self-tan mitts, etc.)
- Pencil/pastel/charcoal
- 19×24 watercolor/heavy weight paper (several sheets) You can also use a smaller size if needed, just as long as the paper is thick and you have lots of it!
You can find all of these supplies at Michael’s or online from Amazon or Blick art supplies.
