Kris Kuksi will be hosting a drawing workshop in the small Bavarian village of Viechtach, located about an hour east of Munich. The local Burgermiester of Viechtach has invited Kris to return again after giving one last summer. Kris, an established Surrealist, holds master's degree in painting and drawing, sculpture, and art history. His techniques are never formulated and believes in having a fresh and experimental approach to art and hopes to share in his enjoyment with others eager to learn to new tricks and methods.

Class time will be Monday through Friday from 2:00 to 5:00 August 13th through the 17th. The class will be 5 days with a total of 15 hours duration and will be held in the city center at the Alte Rathaus. In the drawing workshop we will emphasize development of formal rendering skills as well as knowledge of the principles and elements of design. We will examine approaches to technique and style through the use of contour and gesture drawing while analyzing forms and textures. Value and tonal ranges will be heavily emphasized in creating both realistic and stylistic work.

We will explore the uses of shading and many textural devices as a means to build the illusion of three-dimensional form. It may be likely we will work from a still life or if you have photos of images that you are bringing you can work from those. Good drawing skills make for great paintings and this brief course will introduce you to both traditional and experimental drawing approaches.
