“Abstraction & Figurative Drawing”

by João Fernandes

How do you transform our colorful 3D world around you into a strong and expressive drawing? What features make a drawing convincing and believable without it becoming stiff and unimaginative? In this workshop, you will learn how to break down reality in abstract shapes with a strong emphasis on maintaining flow and gestural impact. The goal is to acquire tools to draw accurately and intentionally by analyzing forms and structure, but also keeping in mind what makes a drawing energetic and interesting to look at.
