D R AW I N G P R O G R A M Figure Drawing Phase II: Basic Figure Construction— Master Studies—Male & Female

OVERVIEW The objective of this exercise is to create a study from an artist that possesses certain aesthetic skills we wish to incorporate into our own thought process. The practice of copying master works has helped to train some of the greatest artists who have ever lived. The key is to pick works that not only speak to you but offer some insight into areas you have weakness in. For example, if an artist wishes to learn exceptional design in drapery, then Bernini studies might be helpful; for beautiful, elegant design and subtle value control, William Bouguereau. We could go on and on. Refer to the handout that lists various artists and their strengths. I have picked a female from Pierre-Paul Prud'hon and a male from a Russian artist whose name I do not know. Master studies are always a joy to do, and I would advise you to always have one going. I have done dozens of them over the years.
