Form Painting with the Figure
Stephen Early
Portrait Society of America 2010 Certificate of Excellence
and
Darren Kingsley
Classical Society of America 2000 Scholarship
January 24 - 28
9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
$550
Learn the principles essential to transform abstract flat shapes into fully
dimensional forms and create a sense of light on the figure. Students concentrate on painting the figure
with a full range of values and developing the ability to make accurate value calibrations. The focus is
on structure, anatomy, proportion, light direction, edge conditions, abstract movements through
the figure, composition and an understanding of form on the figure.
These concepts are executed
through an application of opaque and semi-opaque paint in the light and shadow areas. This
also enables the student to develop painting skills such as scumbling, feathering, and texture.
Control of the paint is a priority and is essential to achieving required goals.

Structural Figure Drawing
Dan Thompson
Portrait Society of America 2010 Honor Award
January 29 - 30
9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
$550
To more effectively understand and execute a drawing of the human body from life, what is illuminated should be contemplated, as a construction in space, a still life seen from multiple views. To that end, this drawing workshop is presented as a way of analyzing the figure in a long-posed drawing or painting situation. In part one, the figure will be set up in a two day, long pose and work can begin on gesture, proportion, shape and tone. In part two, the human figure is to be analyzed by creating a simple diagram of the components of the figure in space. This diagram is then developed according to the concerns of plane, rhythm, perspective, and constructive anatomy. Ultimately, modeling or shading will be explored in the ongoing drawing.
