2024 Open drawing in Staublau, nude and portrait Course description Landscape and architecture - drawing and painting under open air Motifs in nature and/or in an urban context (urban sketching) are our starting point: We put our impressions on site on paper or on canvas. Each participant finds a personal approach to dealing with the place and the time spent there in an artistic way. The focus should be on the process, the experiment and the experience, not the result. Topics such as horizon, perspective, plot, composition, structures, light and shadow, Lo sfumato, La sprezzatura etc. are discussed and Needs are explored in more depth.
Depending on the weather and location, different materials can be used and combined in unusual ways. You should therefore bring along (depending on your own preferences): e.g. suitable paper/canvas, pencil/charcoal/ink, watercolor/gouache , acrylic/oil, water/solvent, brush, rag, field easel or drawing board, stool, headgear, etc.
In case of bad weather, the course will take place indoors.
