Summer 2012 Workshops

Atelier Stockholm summer workshops are designed to give students an introduction to the traditional methods of drawing and painting. Today, this form of instruction is rare, because of the shift to modernist teaching methods in the mid 20th century. Therefore, these workshops reveal to most students a completely new way of seeing and thinking about art. The summer workshops will give students a taste of what those studies contain and a larger understanding for art and realistic painting in particular. The beauty, creativity and high standards of craftsmanship that Atelier Stockholm stands for, will also certainly become an inspiration to students and energize them in their future artistic work.

Figure Painting

Teacher: Samuel Järnegard Fogelvik
Cost: 10000 SEK (including VAT 2000SEK)
Material not included
Language: English and Swedish

Drawing and painting the human figure realistically and accurately has always been considered the ultimate test and proof of an artist’s skill, since it is the most complex challenge an artist faces. This workshop is designed to give students guidance in approaching this intimidating challenge. Every day they will work from a live model who will hold the same pose for longer periods of time to allow students time for careful drawing and methodical application of paint. Students will do preparatory drawing exercises to improve their perceptive skills through the use of structural anatomy, values, temperature, edges and accents and learn how to apply paint to create structure and volume.
