Essential Techniques for Expressive Art|
Intent is perhaps the most crucial aspect of art: without it, we're left with empty images devoid of meaning. Join me, artist Richard T. Scott, in my online Craftsy class Expressive Figure Drawing: Conveying Mood and Emotion , and harness the elements of visual storytelling for work that communicates emotion and captivates the viewer. LEARN A SECRET TECHNIQUE YOU WON'T FIND ANYWHERE ELSE!
Explore mark–making to convey your expressive goal, varying simple lines to depict a sense of weight, shadow and gravity. You'll learn why composition, placement and movement are essential artistic decisions, and how to use these tools to create a compelling narrative.
Delve into gesture and rhythm as you uncover the devices and elements that create the expressive blueprint behind a drawing. Next, create a reductive drawing in charcoal as we explore the six principles of light and their influence on our composition. Using a charcoal–toned paper and eraser, you'll capture the play of light and shadow across the cast, creating a powerful image with atmospheric depth and sculptural form.

My passion for drawing and painting led me to earn my MFA from the New York Academy of Art, followed by several years as a painter for Jeff Koons and a studio assistant to Odd Nerdum. I was privileged to be included in American Artist magazine's list of the 75 greatest artists of all time, and my work has been exhibited at Le Grand Palais in Paris, Palazzo Cini in Venice, the Museum of New Art in Detroit, and in numerous solo and group shows.
Craftsy's innovative virtual classroom lets me share techniques, insights and advice with you as you take each lesson—you can even upload your work for a personal critique. Explore essential concepts at your own pace, from your own easel, and enjoy class access that never expires.
Learn the visual language of expression, and translate your intent into a striking work of art!
