Workshop at Angel Academy of Art

Academic Figure Drawing Principles

Instructor: Krasimir S. Marinov

24 June – 05 July 2024 | 60 hours

Explore the scrupulous practice of figure drawing and focus on creating beautiful, gracious, academic figures by building a sensibility, based on classical ideals and principles.

It should go without saying that figure drawing has always played a tremendous role in the development of one’s drawing ability. During the 19th-century, art reached a whole other level, whether compositionally or technically. In this workshop we will explore the scrupulous practice of figure drawing that helped bring forth those amazing artists of that century.

The workshop will focus on creating beautiful, gracious, academic figures. These words are not random, rather they form the sensibility through which we are going to be viewing and drawing the figures. Building that sensibility, based on classical ideals and principles, will be one of the main goals of the workshop. It is important to learn what lens we will be using to draw these figures.

Work with the live model will start in the second week. As the instructor, I will be demonstrating each of the key steps and will assist each student individually as they progress.
