In this lesson, you will learn to draw a full-valued figure. Along with the instructor, you will go all the way from lighting set-up and choosing a
model’s pose to defining and organizing shadow and halftone values.
Academies and ateliers around the world are increasingly teaching an American realist approach to drawing and painting known as sight-size or classical realism.
Hosted by Florence Academy of Art founder Daniel Graves, this massive course is the most comprehensive breakdown of the sight-size approach ever produced online.
By the end of this course, you’ll be an expert in the approach and be ready to take on Sight-Size Painting Course, scheduled for a 2020 release.
