If you dread struggling with the technical aspects of anatomy in your figure paintings and drawings … all those complicated bones and muscles … we have a solution!
Daniel Maidman shows you how to utilize your knowledge of anatomy, and then set it aside so you can tell a story about the living, breathing individuals in your drawings and paintings.
Because every step of an artist's journey requires good drawing skills, we are all on a lifelong quest to improve and perfect our own level of proficiency. Regardless of your personal style or the medium you use, excellent drawing is the foundation you need in order to achieve your artistic goals.
Not to worry, this is not a tedious anatomy class. Instead, this is a celebration of the human form!
Without the ability to draw well, you will be forever limited as a figurative artist. In this video, Daniel will not only help you break through your fear and hesitation of life drawing, he'll help you discover a newfound enjoyment for it that you’ve probably never experienced.
Like the masters, Daniel focuses on the depiction of body shapes and forms through the gentle sculpting of light and shadow.
He describes the goal for his drawings as lyrical realism … figures that are recognizably the real thing, but with a sense of poetic grace about them.
With Daniel’s instruction, you’ll gain new clarity and will soon be enhancing your art by applying the master touches Daniel reveals in this video.
