Join Ukrainian-born artist Iliya Mirochnik as he passes on a 250-year-old academic method preserved at the Repin Academy in Saint Petersburg, Russia and seldom taught outside of the Academy.
This Russian Academic Figure Drawing workshop explores the human figure as a constructional mechanism in space through the medium of drawing.
During the workshop, Iliya Mirochnik will demonstrate drawing principles for the entire class and provide anatomical explanations and diagrams for each participant individually. Participants will also learn to stretch paper and work on large scale drawings.
The primary purpose of this 3-day intensive is to understand anatomy not only as an academic discipline but as the means through which the human figure should be viewed and depicted.
Participants will develop their knowledge of the underlying structures of the human form and use them to draw the model from life.
This workshop will consist of a long pose with an emphasis on rendering and learning to tie in structural anatomy with surface form.
Participants will also be drawing quick figure sketches to practice capturing the significant anatomical structures responsible for the gesture.
