Boston Figurative Arts Center, Boston, MA

Figure Drawing Intensive Weekend 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.

The Art League of Alexandria, Virginia

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.

Clos Mirabel, Pau, Pyrénées-Atlantiques S.W. France

Portrait and Figure in the French Pyrénées

In this five-day intensive workshop, participants will be studying the human form through portraiture and figure drawing. For the first half of the curriculum, we will focus on the portrait, weaving together classical and contemporary techniques to observe and represent form. The second half will focus on the figure, during which students will learn how to capture the gesture of a pose and build upon this impression while considering anatomical structures. The instruction involves the intersection between academic fundamentals – including perspective, light, shadow, volume, and geometry – and Celia’s own methods of loosening and guiding both the mind and hand.
