The evening of June 29 saw two coinciding events: grad ceremonies at a school I teach a class at, and the final spring session of Diane Mcgrath's Drawing Room. I felt compelled t attend the grad, which was enjoyable to see, and got back into the west end with just enough time to do one 15-minute study of Z- , who I hadn't drawn before.
A grasp of sculptural volumes in space and how to convey them is an underpinning of studies like these.
From July 26 - 28 there is a once-a-year opportunity to spend 3 days focusing in on those sculptural aspects of drawing bodies in space, at a workshop I am teaching at the TSA called "Structural Bodies".
From 9 a.m to 4 p.m on each of those days, medium to long poses will supply the opportunity to analyse the figure as volumes in space, and to interpret that using blocks, tubes, ovoids and such, and through cross-contour marks/cross-sections. The thinking that goes into that is a component of drawing foreshortened poses like the reclining ones of Z- here.
For other examples of the kind of studies we'll be doing, click on the tag below for "structural drawing:. To contact the TSA to register, you can get details and contact info here.
