La sélection des œuvres logées dans les réserves de la Collection McMichael d’art canadien est née de mon désir, en tant que nouveau directeur général, de découvrir la collection rapidement et en profondeur. Monter une exposition me semblait la solution idéale.
Working with professional female and male models, Andrew will guide participants through the basics with simple yet effective exercises that will help them create a drawing or painting of the human figure. Andrew Sookrah will conduct demonstrations in various media styles with running commentary on the process.
Topics covered include mastering perspective, reflections in water, patterns, texture, skies and clouds, dramatic light, depth and negative space, with special attention given to basic drawing techniques such as composition, colour, texture, and effective brushstrokes.
