The Natural Way to Draw: Week 7

Special Form Studies

“Do not try to learn a formula, but to become more sensitive, to feel more deeply” - pg 101

Our study group continues with Kimon Nicolaides’ The Natural Way to Draw

We took last week to have more time with the exercises and prompts, and this week, we will pick up where we left off by reading chapters 8 and 9.

In chapter 8 we are looking at developing our studies by working with just one section of the figure over a longer period of time. The exercises you do this week will be based on the same techniques we have been working with up until now, namely using the approach of the modelled drawing and looking to describe form, weight and substance.

Starting next week we will begin our study of proportion and structure; so if you would like to join the study group, be sure to sign up below.
