VIENNA ATELIER OF TRADITIONAL ART
Description:
In this 3.5-day workshop artists will create a self-portrait drawing in graphite and white chalk on toned paper, working from direct observation with one or two mirrors.
Instruction will include a comprehensive demonstration from start to finish, as well as indepth personal critiques with a particular focus on cultivating an organized, rational process. Two distinct steps will be emphasized throughout: building an accurate linear block-in, then interpreting values effectively to create a sense of form, while exploring the play between three general aesthetic aims: sculptural, graphic, and atmospheric. Cranial anatomy, color theory, materials, line quality, resolution/abbreviation, edges, and the physics of light will also be discussed throughout the course.
This workshop is open to artists with all levels of experience.
