Exploring Acrylic - Painting The Figure with Sam Drake
Join award winning visual artist Sam Drake at The Loggia at Pollokshields Burgh Hall for this Exploring Acrylic Workshop suitable for beginners and improvers.
About Exploring Acrylic - Painting The Figure with Sam Drake
Sam says that acrylic is the most user-friendly and versatile paint currently available. It can involve watercolour-style translucent washes of colour or thick textured strokes, reminiscent of oils. Modern technology means that acrylics now have the quality and richness to rival traditional painting media; they are non-toxic, water soluble, quick drying and a pleasure to work with.
This course is suitable for beginners and improvers.
Students will be taught how to use acrylic paint through the following exercises:
A demonstration of painting the figure with a monochromatic tonal range;
An introduction to blocking in and use of different brushes and techniques.
We will begin with some short warm-up exercises on paper followed by longer studies in colour or continue to use black and white.
What you will learn:
Understanding methods of drawing the figure
How to use tone, erasure, blocking in
Techniques for painting the head and form
Understanding of how light works in a painting
How to measure the figure anatomically
Understanding of compositional techniques
The Loggia at Pollokshields Burgh Hall is a beautiful space located in the lush greenery of Maxwell Park. The perfect place to relax and learn new skills. Access to the Loggia is via glass doors at the rear of the building if the main building is shut.
