The Fundamentals of Figurative Composition aims to give you two main benefits:
A range of skills and understanding related to designing, modelling and executing figurative paintings
A series of guided exercises that will help you narrow in on the approach most exciting to you - saving you time and allowing you to learn from masters more similar to your aims
This in-person course starts on the 5th of October 2024, held at the Petrie Terrace studios of the Royal Queensland Art Society
There are 5 core sessions over 5 saturdays, plus 2 extension sessions for additional studies and work from the artists model to let you apply what you have learned.
Each session has a morning of theory, excercises and/or scene building, while the afternoon is working from the model over a long pose suitable for a particular approach to figurative art.
