Joseph Todorovitch is a professional figurative and portrait painter. This class emphasizes a tonal approach to figure drawing that is essential to the painter. Drawing from a live model, you will learn a tonal approach to drawing that focuses on value massing and the importance of design in shape and edge in relation to the form. You will train with a procedural approach, which forces you to work simple, then gradually progress to more complexity.

The second half of the class will be devoted to applying this approach to painting and analyzing the connection between the two mediums. You will start by working monochromatically with black and white and over time color and color theory will be introduced. This will help students paint with more freedom and understanding

Full Access Participants will be working alongside Joseph from weekly rotating models. Joseph’s work will be recorded live, as well as broadcast to large displays so you can follow along no matter where you’re positioned in the studio. The recordings from each class will be published within 48 hours of class ending so that you can review all material including material you may have missed. Participants will benefit from Joseph’s generous teaching style with one-on-one critiques of your classwork.

Participants attending the class with the Online Streaming Only pass will also get access to the full video recordings from class as well as critiques. Online participants will work from high quality model photos that will be provided on the class page each week. You can upload photos of your weekly work into the class chatroom and get a full critique from Joseph during the following week’s class. You can watch the recordings on your own time, and you do not have to participate in the critiques if you don’t want to.

All students will receive online access to the class recording and reference images for one year. This is helpful to reinforce the principles of each week, and to catch any concepts you may have missed the first time around.
