Narrative Long Pose Figure Painting with Joseph Todorovitch (ONLINE) – Fall 2018

Joseph Todorovitch is a professional figurative and portrait painter. In this comprehensive 10-week online class, you will develop one complete painting from start to finish with an element of conceptual narrative. This gives plenty of time to create a thought-out and finished work of art.

Throughout the class, you will focus on establishing pose and narrative. You will learn everything involved in creating a studio painting from start to finish, including how to set up a scene and plan your painting. Joseph will work with the model, and together you will solve the creative problems that arise when developing a work of art.

This Recorded Class Features:

• 26+ hours of instructional video
• 50+ reference images to download
• Access to the student chatroom
• Online access to this class for 12 months

You will also learn lighting scenarios and value pattern motifs, along with color keys and other compositional ideas for making a complete painting. Joseph will discuss color mixing, establishing an accurate drawing, massing values, choosing areas of emphasis, and paint application. You will discuss finishing touches and ways to “strike a balance” to create a sense of resolve in your works.

As an online participant, you will work from high-resolution photos that will be provided on the class page each week. Unlike in traditional classes, the online format allows you to work at your own pace. You can pause and rewind as much as you want, giving you the ability to absorb information at a speed that you set for yourself.

NOTE: Students will have access to all the class recordings for 12 months and may download all reference images to keep. But since this class is recorded, students will not be able to submit work for critique from the instructor.
