4th Entry for June 24, 2010




These 15-minute poses finished my evening.

As well as gesture and contour drawing, one of the underpinnings of the longer studies like these is an internal `grasp', or tactile sense of the 3-d volumes that make up a body in space. I will be offering a 3-day intensive class at the TSA July 26-28 called `Structural Bodies', which will focus in on that aspect of drawing. Using long poses we will be looking to describe bodies more in terms of simple volumes, such as blocks, spheres, cones & cylinders ( and elaborations on those `basic' forms.
You can see examples of that in practice if you click on the tab below for `structural bodies'.
