Course Description<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This intensive 10-day workshop invites you to explore the human figure as a vehicle for storytelling, as you draw and paint the model from life within the context of a larger allegorical narrative.<\/p>\n

The model will be staged in an environment inspired by a scene from mythology, and it will be up to you and your fellow artists to balance what you observe with your own imagination to bring your creative interpretation of the narrative to life on canvas.
\n\u200b
\nThe course starts with exercises in poster studies, where you will work out your composition and explore tonal and colour relationships before moving into the final painting. This process reinforces a solid foundation in drawing while encouraging clarity and confidence in paint application. Through in-depth personalised guidance, C\u00e9sar will take you through an academic approach to painting the model from life, providing you with a\u00a0deeper understanding in key principles such as proportion, anatomy, perspective, and\u00a0insights into\u00a0how structure and movement bring vitality to the figure.<\/p>\n

At the same time, this workshop gives you the opportunity to let your imagination roam free as you explore narrative possibilities and shape your artistic voice. For those up to the challenge, this advanced workshop will offer you\u00a0a dynamic learning environment where traditional academic practice\u00a0meets creative awareness and personal flair.<\/p>\n
