Hello,

The well known Illustrator and Figure artist will be doing a 2 day Head and Figure Drawing workshop at 3Kicks Fine Art Studio. In the workshop, Glen will explain and demonstrate from the model as well as critique students' work. The focus will be on draftsmanship, designing both 2D and 3D elements together, with special emphasis on idealization. The tonal approach stressing shapes, values, and edges is excellent training to help students make transition from drawing to painting, as well sharpening the skills of those who already paint and draw.

Joseph Todorovitch Workshop Jun 20-22 '08

Joseph Todorovitch Workshop
June 20th - June 22nd

http://www.pr.com/press-release/80906

His work is a culmination of these forces with a deep respect for the knowledge and sensitivities of the past. Joseph has been able to sift through the vast amount of information, be selective, and utilize what's necessary to achieve an impact that speaks about a personal experience with his subjects. His paintings emote, and convey a care and sensitivity that is reminiscent of the naturalist painters of the 19th century. Utilizing subtle value and temperature shifts, fine draftsmanship, and pure intuition, Joseph weaves a world of breathable air and psychological nuance in his work.

Description of workshop

Painting a figure from life and discuss choices for setting up the pose, composition, color harmony, lighting, pacing, and bringing the painting to a decent level of resolve. Joseph will explain his approach and demonstrate by painting along and illustrating his ideas about the approach. The workshop will consist of three six hour sessions in consecutive days. Previous drawing experience is highly recommended.
