WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

In this intensive 10-day workshop with Mike Mattesi, learn to escape the monotony of stiff, lifeless drawings and unleash the dynamic, breathtaking essence of life in your drawings.
Immerse yourself in the art of visual rhythm, discover the pulsating energy of the human form and master the art of capturing this vitality on the page.

During this intensive course you’ll be given the basics of the FORCE line, laying solid foundations. We will study :
– the types of FORCES and their impact on the figure.
– how to identify the FORCES on the model, where are the FORCES and how do they work?
– how to draw and connect them to generate rhythms.

After this course, you’ll have the tools to draw more dynamic figures and present figure rhythms.
