VIEW with Michael Solovyev, NEWS: ``People in motion`` in Watercolor
Reference photos will be send to you ahead of time. You can see above the 3 ref photos (one man running, one woman running and one woman dancing).
Attend this class and you may win one recording of your choice from Michael’s previous classes. We will do a raffle during the class. Need to be present to win.
Painting people in motion is one of the most interesting tasks in watercolor. But very few people know how to do this – after all, imitation of motion on a sheet of paper is a difficult task. That is, if you don’t know the rules…
We’ll go over the very basic ideas that will allow you to create the illusion of motion. And, of course, we will also learn how to draw people without resorting to the help of medical atlases and wasting time studying anatomy.
You will receive the 3 reference photos in advance so you can prepare the 3 drawings for the class.

“The session recordings are one of the reasons these live on-line workshops are better than in-person workshops. The other reason is that we can sit comfortably and look over the shoulder of the artist during the demo. I’m so glad that you are presenting these workshops!”
