Workshop Overview (6 Sessions):

Our artistic heritage is largely built upon the legacy of the forefathers of western art.

Their figurative masterworks remain iconic examples for us to learn from. Through

analysis we develop our visual understanding. Through imitation, we grow and stretch

our creative ability and artistic voice.

In this 6 WEEK TRADITIONAL DRAWING WORKSHOP, you will first tour great

museums and collections and learn to interpret, design and express your artistic voice in

new and different ways. Then, using similar life resources, you will stand in the

proverbial shoes of great masters to stretch beyond your comfort zone to iron out

solutions to complex visual challenges. In this culturally rich program you will enjoy

learning valuable drawing skills and acquaint yourself quite intimately with great masters.

Join the Mark Anthony Traditional Drawing Workshop entitled: FROM MASTERCOPY

TO MASTERFUL INTERPRETATIONS FROM LIFE. All 6 sessions will include full

demonstrations from a blank page. Artists of all levels are welcome to join this hands-on

workshop.

Student Testimonials:

• "My thanks for a practical and enjoyable workshop. Mark's teaching greatly enhanced my ability to draw. He is a very skilled artist and a competent teacher."

• "I true have no suggestions for improvement. Mark organized good examples  presented with knowledge and enthusiasm. I am left wanting to study further. I am amazed to have been given so very much in 4 lessons on a subject that is so involved. I’m thankful and feel privileged to have been able to take this course through Zoom as I live in central BC and would not have been able to otherwise. Thank You to Mark and Thank You FCA for the opportunity."
