Human Figure Drawing and Painting
Human Figure Drawing and Painting course, based on the figurative tradition of the Great Masters.
At the Barcelona Academy of Art, we consider drawing the most important element and starting point for any artistic development. In this course, students initially focus on developing a sketch, practicing, and applying the knowledge of pose, gesture, proportion, and precision. First using charcoal and later moving on to oil painting, the students will work from a life model, alternating long poses and short poses with a theoretical basis.
Week 1:
Introduction to the course, followed by pencil drawing sessions (short poses)
Chiaroscuro techniques
Principles of values theory
Transfer drawing methods
Long pose drawing sessions with live models
Week 2:
Introduction to painting techniques
Color theory
Sketch painting
Long pose painting sessions, concluding with a comprehensive final critique
