"The Figure as Document"
This workshop walks along the normal path of documenting what an artist or student artist sees. Skills in draughtsmanship will be developed according to student needs. In addition to the development of drawing skills, the workshop will aim to develop other meanings for the figure. The workshop introduction has more detail. In "Rest", there is more than a record of 'physicality'. "I responded to the 'gentle rest' of the chin upon the hand. This gentleness transferred into my handling of the brush and the wet ink. I did not 'hammer' the lines into position. I was in a 'right brain' mode to 'allow' most of the lines to just 'flow' into position." - Alan Tulloch |
