Scott Burdick is known for his bold brushwork and lush color in his figurative paintings. What underlies those powerful paintings is a mastery of figurative drawing and anatomy. In this new four-hour program, Scott demonstrates how to use various drawing media to create masterful drawings in red conte, traditional charcoal and wet-brush charcoal powder. Burdick is a master of many media, which this program will introduce to you. Working with the live model, he takes you through a drawing session that begins with five-minute gestures and ends with 20-minute long poses, over a period of three hours. The last demonstration is a portrait executed totally in a charcoal wash; that is, powdered charcoal applied with brush and water. Always an articulate instructor, Burdick will demonstrate how to begin a drawing session, relax into longer poses and gather the most information for the model. The program has been edited to present to the viewer the most information you would wish to see, including the posed model and close-up views of the drawings as they are created. Additional material includes how to square up a photo to enlarge the composition to drawing or painting size, and sight-size measurements.

This lecture is the first of a series on how to approach drawing the human figure. In this series, Jack states that a successful figure drawing must include evidence of three sets of information: gestural, structural, and anatomical; the first being the focus of this particular demonstration. Gesture drawing establishes the unique storytelling and emotional properties of a given pose. It can also be used to map out the essential idea conveyed in the pose. Jack explores rapid-sketch technique, weight distribution, and the rhythm of the body parts as they adjust to the effects of gravity. Key concepts such as contrapposto , twist, overlapping shapes, and foreshortening are also covered. In short, this lecture will show you how to create a dynamic, lively interpretation of the subject being observed.
