Academic training in classical drawing: the introductory course

Academische vorming klassiek tekenen

Are you a beginning student and wish to improve your drawing skills? Or do you already have extensive experience with drawing and painting and wish to delve further into classical drawing techniques? Then you are most welcome to participate in my program.

Like grandmasters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo, we focus on model drawing. Indeed, the human body is one of the most complex subjects to master. It challenges us to study drawing concepts, such as the correct rendering of proportions and tonality, but also trains our perception. Lessons learned about this are universal and can later be applied to other areas, such as landscape or still life.

De richting ‘academische vorming klassiek tekenen’ bestaat uit twee jaargangen: een eerste jaar (modeltekenen) en een tweede jaar (portrettekenen), elk opgedeeld in drie cursussen. (De ervaring leert dat de student de grootste vooruitgang boekt wanneer het traject in chronologische volgorde wordt doorlopen. Echter, wanneer je slechts een onderdeel uit het programma wenst te volgen is dat ook mogelijk (met uitzondering van de eerste twee portretcursussen.)

Academic training in classical drawing: the introductory course

To meet the needs of the student, we have developed an introductory course to the model drawing program. If you wish to follow this program we strongly recommend that you start with these basic classes so you develop an understanding about the topics before we dive in deep.

The introductory course consists of two sessions on Friday, September 4 and 11, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
