Embark on an artistic journey to capture the essence of the human form with a classical approach.
Guided by expert instruction, you will learn the sight-size method and constructive drawing techniques, allowing you to master the proportions and nuances of the live model. By skillfully blocking-in proportions and harnessing the power of chiaroscuro, the interplay of light and shadow, you will bring your artwork to life with a mesmerizing three-dimensional effect using techniques that masters like Da Vinci, Caravaggio, and Rembrandt used. This course welcomes students of all levels of experience, empowering you to achieve remarkable results in depicting the human figure.
