MASTERCLASS PERSPECTIVE FOR THE ACADEMY ARTIST 2015,
Golden Gate Atelier, San Fransisco, USA
2-3 May 2015
Perspective is the guide and the gateway; and without this nothing can be done well in the matter of drawing. Leonardo da Vinci
This 2-Day Perspective Master-class Workshop is an introduction to the topic designed specifically for the Academy artist with a focus on teaching you what the Renaissance artists in Florence protected as ‘secret knowledge’. We demystify its complexity and link perspective to the Academic sight-size method of drawing.
Perspective impacts everything we see or draw both in the studio and ‘plein air’.
We aim to make perspective a practical tool helping you solve problems with the human figure, relating multiple figures and placing the figure in a realistic environment.
There is no maths or complicated geometric set-up as an Architect might utilize, this work shop is for artists. We logically develop; 1. What is perspective? 2. How does it impact every realist artwork? 3. How can you control/use it in your artwork?
The relaxed, interactive and casual sessions combine theory and practical drawing from a live model. We cover; the principles & laws of perspective, step-by-step procedures showing how to use 1-Point and 2-Point Perspective, the impact of 3-point perspective, the Station Point, Horizon Line, Centre Line of Vision, Cone of Vision, Picture Plane, etc.
This master-class will open the door to a new world for the classical realist artist.
