5–6 pm UK ; 12–1pm EST ; 9–10am PT
Across three sessions, I'll guide you through my process of drawing the figure — interpreting and representing form through chalk and a regular sketching practice. As a loose continuation of April's workshop which delved into myth and storytelling, "Body and Paradox" will explore the relationship between structure and fluidity within the body’s expression, and how the artist can embrace this paradox to communicate the essence of form.
With a heavy focus on light and shadow, precision and expression, containing and the contained, tension and release, we'll practice the interweaving of creative intuition with technical wisdom. We will reach beyond the pursuit of precision, and the spiritual thread of drawing will be greatly emphasised. We will cultivate sensitivity and rhythm within our practice by honouring tension and learning to trust creative impulse.
The series consists of three 1.5 hour sessions over three weeks including three demonstrations (two figure, one portrait), with an optional extended critique component for those seeking deeper feedback and dialogue. This series is best suited for intermediate or advanced artists, however all are welcome. A supply list will be sent in the weeks leading up to the first session. You do not need to have taken April’s workshop.
*For those who can't make all sessions, recordings of the classes will be available to watch until January 15, 2027 via the portal.

Figure and Myth — Online Portrait
& Figure Drawing Workshop
Across three sessions, I’ll guide you through my process of drawing the figure — interpreting and representing form through chalk and a sketching practice. We’ll explore how to detect and translate points of tension and release within the body as a means of building a narrative.
Moving through themes of embodiment, materials, sketching practices, gesture, and form, we’ll examine the interweaving of creative intuition with technical wisdom. A special focus will be placed on narrative and composition: dissecting the anatomy of myth, and exploring the parallels between gesture, movement, and storytelling.

Figure Drawing 3-day Intensive Workshop
In this 3-day intensive workshop, students will explore a fusion of classical and contemporary approaches. The focus will be on capturing gesture, expressing anatomical structure, and suggesting volume through expressive line and tone. Beyond close observation of the human form, students will learn to honor the energetic signature of the subject and the body’s inherent gesture.

Tradition and Transformation Part 2:
Exploring the atelier system in 19th century France with Celia Liberace and Rob Liberace
Drawing from her experience at Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Celia Liberace will guide participants through the timeless principles and techniques that have influenced countless artists over generations. The instruction delves into the convergence of academic fundamentals from Ecole de Beaux-Arts, such as classical draftsmanship, anatomy, and composition, with Celia’s unique approach to freeing, guiding, and harmonizing both mind and hand. As students learn to navigate and interpret form, they will honor the subject’s energetic essence while also considering formal harmony and compositional flow.
