The Workshop - The Figure as Transient Form
The focus of the workshop is designed to offer a different outlook in drawing - seeing the figure as a structured form that can (and will) move.
Preworkshop Tutorials offer particants lead-in activities that increase learning.  These Tutorials also introduce students to the Tutor, Alan Tulloch, and to his style of thinking.
When you arrive at the workshop, Alan Tulloch will be already drawing as students choose a place in the Studio. Such a drawing demonstration is not meant to foster imitation - rather, it is to create an atmosphere of industriousness.  (It also means that student drawing time will not be taken up with teacher demonstration time.)
Participants will be introduced to a number of drawing approaches that will cause students to see the figure as a fluid, changeable form, benefiting from being drawn in inventive ways.
The technigue used in "Sprung" was adapted to reference the 'energy' in the pose.  Lines that register body-part positions were formed to be a bit  like compressed springs.
