Painting the Figure Dynamically

August 23-24 10AM-3:30PM Workshop Description: Painting the figure can be a dynamic experience. Whether sitting, standing, or in motion, the challenge of figurative painting is not only how to render a lifelike representation of your subject, but also how to capture and create that sense of dynamism.The most important aspect of this is making your piece interactive. It is a mistake to think of art as only a passive viewing activity. It can be, but through emphasizing areas of focus, directional lines, contrast, and more an artist can direct the viewer’s eye and create a more engaging experience. This workshop includes practical rendering tips on how to paint the figure, while tapping into the intuitive side of painting in order to create a more meaningful experience for your viewer and for the artist.
