And, if you are serious about figurative art, you owe it to yourself to view his web site and closely study this master's work. Liberace's work for several years and he and his wife, Lina, have kindly posted a link to this blog on their web site. We are now rediscovering these aesthetic values in figurative art, five centuries later. During that period, great importance was placed upon the appearance of physical movement as an expression of the movements of the soul.

Liberace's figures capture the elusive aspect of movement, furia, which (along with grace, grazia, and variety, varieta) was one of the cornerstones of renaissance art. That being said, I would like to suggest that we, as draftsmen, should take a serious look at the work of Robert Liberace, whose work compares very favourably to the classical influences I mentioned, above. I have shied away from pointing to many living influences, because, often times, such lists can end up looking like a sort of popularity contest. If you have any questions regarding this workshop, please call Diana Sarkar, 86.Since I began this blog, last year, I have been documenting my journey as a figurative artist by posting my own work and thoughts on figurative drawing, sculpture and painting, as well as some of my influences from the classical tradition: Michelanglo, Da Vinci and Raphael. You want be on the list until the check is received. Please call Diana to let her know you are mailing a check.

Rob was so generous throughout the workshop with his talent and time, we all felt honored to be with him. I am so happy I got the red chalk drawing which I am attaching. We drew numbers from a hat to see who won these prizes. He gave away two demos, one oil portrait and a red chalk drawing. Rob’s teaching and demos were done so well, we all understood what was necessary to create good form.Īt the end of the workshop, Rob gave us an unexpected treat. Rob’s boundless energy was contagious and none of us wanted to quit drawing or painting when the session was over. All of us totally loved the process and all of us significantly improved over the week. He was so enthusiastic about getting us to grow as artists and enjoy the process. Rob was right there with us encouraging each of us to maximize our skills. This was a delightful fun filled workshop where we did figure sketches in charcoal and red chalk for two days, followed by three days of painting portraits in oils.
