Learn how to use composition, placement and movement to create expressive figure drawings as award-winning artist Richard T. Scott guides you through the design principles behind some of history’s most celebrated masterworks. Transform a simple line into an expression of weight, shadow and gravity, and create a compelling visual narrative using gesture, rhythm and repetition. Use triangulation to easily and accurately map proportions as you create a lifelike contour drawing of a plaster cast. Then, use charcoal and an eraser for a reductive cast rendering with atmospheric depth and sculptural form. Learn the visual language of mood and emotion, and translate your expressive intent into a striking work of art!

Richard Scott

Richard T. Scott received his MFA from the New York Academy of Art, and spent several years as a painter for Jeff Koons and a studio assistant to Norwegian artist Odd Nerdrum. American Artist magazine named him as one of the 75 greatest artists of time, and his work has been exhibited at Le Grand Palais in Paris, Palazzo Cini in Venice, the Museum of New Art in Detroit, and in numerous solo and group shows. Of Scott, art critic Grégory Picard noted “Richard T. Scott sees our epoch with the eyes of Rembrandt — an attitude nearly revolutionary on the scene of contemporary art."
