Watercolor Workshop: Sketching Figures
May 17 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
Learn to capture the essence of the pose by sketching quickly and painting just a little slower. Working with a clothed model, we’ll warm up with gesture drawings, then paint short poses with one color for the shadow. Eventually, we will paint a longer pose exploring how light interacts with the figure, revealing its form and details. We’ll let colors blend where the values are the same. I will try to channel what I learned from two masters, Mel Stabin and Charles Reid. Their figures were full of light and life.
