Overview:
The Objective of the workshop is to introduce the participants to
Alexey Steele's approach to painting a figure, based on his legacy of
Russian Academic Tradition. Alexey will focus on his approach to working
with live model as well as
describe a vital integrated relationship of Form, Tone and Color
essential in a successful execution of any painting and particularly
figure. It shall encourage participants to study these three elements in
depth after participation in the workshop.
There
are a substantially diverse number of wonderful approaches to conveying
life-like visual image shared through various workshops, books and
systems by some remarkable artists of our time. Some of them perceived
as radically different from one another, yet in fact outside
"techniques" they all convey same core principles. Those "integrating"
principles behind various individual approaches will be the main theme
of the workshop. The central principle this workshop is intended to
demonstrate and to train its participants in - is the key function of
Value in connecting Form to Color.
Classes consist of demo, live painting and critique.
In addition to the main objective, at this workshop students will have an opportunity to practice the development of their key decisions on a longer studies as we will book the same models for 2-3 consecutive sessions.
