BODY-LINE: How to Draw Large Gestural Art, with Rob the Art Teacher

Описание: BODY-LINE drawing is all about watching artists create large-scale gestural contour drawings, and then trying it for ourselves. Watch artists sway, pace up and down, stretch up high, bend down, crouch on the floor, swing their arms in wide arcs, and even roll on the floor. Plus, they will sometimes tape their markers, pastels, chalk, or paint brushes to the ends of long sticks or broom-handles to make their arms longer, making their movements bigger, and their drawings more gestural.
