The Observed
FIGURE
Problem: Have a friend or family member POSE for
you, (informal - sitting, lying down, relaxing on
the couch, reading the paper, playing video
games, sitting at a desk) for an extended
amount of time. Draw or paint them, full-
figure, and everything around it. This drawing
will be a more finished, refined version of the
gestures/20 min poses we do on Figure Fridays.
You should spend at least 3 hours on this piece.
You can break this up in increments – if you can
only secure a model for an hour, work on the
model and then work on the surrounding space
without the model in it. It’s tempting to take a
photograph and work from that - PLEASE
DON’T!
CRITERIA –
Must be 18x24
Color OR B/W – up to you
Media up to you
Dynamic composition that has visual movement
Focal point
The illusion of 3-dimensional FORM
Understanding of proportion
