If you have ever had difficulty of knowing how to use photographs for reference in your Drawings or Paintings. Maybe you have already been doing Art for years, and are looking to refresh your observational skills. Perhaps you have a grasp of the basics and want to venture in further to theory and technique? This class is for you.
What to expect We will go over in-depth conceptual and technical tactics that can help re-define how you look at and view photo reference in your work. I will be breaking down my methods in a painting I've already completed in contrast to the photo I took my reference from. This class dives into concepts and methodologies that can help elevate your critical thinking in one's approach to working from reference. Should I take this Class? A firm understanding of Art and Design Fundamentals is recommended as this class is designed for the Intermediate student looking to refine their critical skills, offering a broad stage-by-stage process in the creation of a Painting. Heavy on demonstration, this class presents Intermediate-Advanced techniques in assessing reference material with a number of exercises you can employ in developing these observational skills. Class Origins I spent a lot of time developing my own drawing skills through master copies and flat images, as I did not have much access to Life Drawing in terms of wanting to get better, faster. Over the years I have developed a number of strategies and techniques for myself that have helped me develop 3D forms and impressions, both accurately and creatively. Can I follow along?
