MIRIAM DURKIN: 4-day Expressive Figure Drawing Workshop
Using classical methods of drawing the figure, students will learn to create a beautiful figure drawing with selective and artistic use of line and values. Over four days we’ll cover how to build on the gesture with fundamental shapes, the anatomical landmarks needed in every drawing, how to create shadow shapes that give the figure volume, the importance of edges, and the secrets to varying your line and using your tools to create expressive beauty. Students will draw from live models, using charcoal and conte on toned papers (a materials list will be provided.) Course will begin with short poses and progress to longer poses. Beginners and intermediate artists are welcome.

This 5-day workshop will focus on the fundamental principles essential to achieve a convincing three-dimensional representation of the human figure in oils. These principles will be analyzed in a logical sequence beginning with gesture and continuing through to the study of color and its effect on the figure and its environment. The workshop will be highlighted with demonstrations of these methods and techniques accompanied by Q&A sessions. The format will accommodate students of all levels including past participants of Early’s previous workshops. Renowned Artist Stephen Early teaches figure drawing and painting at Studio Incamminati in Philadelphia and is a teaching associate of Nelson Shanks at workshops around the country.

I had the privilege of having 8-year-old Artist Ellie Potvin and her mother Amy in the studio on Dec 14 for an oil painting lesson and a few fun hours at the easel. Ellie is a beautiful, creative girl suffering from Stage 4 Relapse Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare childhood cancer. I have been following Ellie through her CaringBridge website and have been praying for the Potvin Family.
