XX April - Drawing Fundamentals
XX April - Drawing Fundamentals
About this weekend workshop
In this workshop you will be guided to observe the live model simply - finding the simple essential thread of the gesture, and constructing the basic component parts along this inner movement. You will also explore different methods and mediums to help consolidate your approach to drawing. The focus will be on "seeing" more so than that of achieving an academic drawing. The old masters could see simply and knew that this is the only way to convincingly arrive at the full complexity of the human figure.
A variety of poses will be drawn, with shorter and longer poses facilitating different elements of the learning. There will also be specific demonstrations and studies of hands, feet, and heads at intervals on both days of the workshop.
The workshop is suitable for beginners to intermediate.
About the teacher
Damien Lucas began his study of drawing with the late David Wilson in Bathurst in 1997. Wilson then introduced him to master sculptor Tom Bass, which lead to the full time study and practise of sculpture.
He also completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts at National Art School, Sydney, in 2004, and received the Defiance Award for Excellence in Sculpture. He was awarded the “Highly Commended” Prize for the Ingenuity Maquette Show in 2021.
He has shown work in both group & solo exhibitions throughout NSW & his commissions are situated publicly and privately in Longreach QLD, Cootamundra NSW, Mittagong NSW, Sunbury VIC , Orange NSW, Coffs Harbour NSW, and Coopers Shoot NSW.
Damien’s 24 years + experience of teaching is available directly to you and will guide you along your journey in the visual arts!
