Snapshots From NYSS

“Look at this detail of Gabriel. And you can see

“Look at this detail of Gabriel. And you can see that amazing brushwork … Titian is really the first generation who really understands the key properties of oil paint-- that you can layer it up thickly with impasto, its slow drying, you can make all sorts of corrections that you cannot do with fresco that was painted in fresh plaster or using egg tempera. I think that it’s extraordinary – you know this is three hundred years before Monet – just the jabbing and thick application that makes the hair there or notice how we do not have strong contours but rather beautiful, almost imperceptible way the form comes out. You feel like you’re actually in a warm, humid place. There’s a thick – a heaviness in the air in this painting just like there is a heaviness in the air in Venice with all that humidity. And the extraordinary passages here, it’s not like he’s painting any single feather, but rather he’s giving you the effect of feathers by layering beautiful, thick, impasto strokes, one above the other.” – Frederick Ilchman

WHY PAINT THE FIGURE: Painting Marathon – VIRTUA

WHY PAINT THE FIGURE: Painting Marathon – VIRTUAL with Elisa Jensen & Guests begins soon - secure your spot today via the link in bio.

Course Dates: July 8th - July 21st, 2021
9am - 6pm

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This figure painting class will explore in depth the development of figurative imagery in art. Focus will be on finding personal imagery and developing that imagery to the fullest extent by working from drawings, from the imagination and from memory. Sources will be drawings from the virtual model, the study of our own environment and transcription of specific masterworks, western and nonwestern, from ancient times to contemporary art.

The first week will involve a series of small drawings and paintings exploring color palettes, color relationship, scale and image. Week two we will develop two larger works based on the work done in week one.

"What is so unique about the Studio School is its

"What is so unique about the Studio School is its focus on drawing, I was taught a range of approaches from many significant teachers there. That gave me a lasting resource to work things out, usually ahead of my paintings. I was there for Graham Nickson’s first Drawing Marathon and many subsequent ones. They were really exhilarating and rigorous and shook you from any kind of complacency about what you were doing on the paper. I had a fantastic drawing class my last year there with Elena Sisto. As my work turned more towards abstraction over the years, that class with Elena really came to shape how I approach making a painting." - Elizabeth Hazan
