Class notes from Painting the Figure in space with Elizabeth Rupprecht, SAIC, 1991

Draw from center out. Work from bottom up, never top down.

Like riding a bike uphill.

Crunching up the space, like using your muscles. All this space to work with. Swooping down.

2D & 3D working together.

Books - Henry Moore, National Gallery, Sharaku.

Split planes, like Cezanne's still lifes.

Modigliani, Picasso.

in & up (compressed); out & down.

Mondrian, eyeball.

Holbein for eyes & mouth.

Class notes from Drawing the figure in Space with Elizabeth Rupprecht, SAIC, 1991

Mark Tobey drawing diagram of fly flying around studio - what's behind you is as important as the rest. Fly's eye view.

1. Cezanne drew from inside out

2. Yin/yang - figure/ground.

3. Color - reacts against what's behind it.

Go back to back wall - pull planes forward towards you.
