About
Learning and improving drawing skills, so essential for miniature painting, will be the focus of this course. Starting with simple drawing exercises and then moving to the human figure as the main subject, students will learn the proportions of body and face in the Indian miniature tradition and how they differ from Western representations. The goal is to encourage freehand drawing and to learn the stylisation of human figures and facial types in Pahari painting and other Indian miniature styles.
Who is this course for?
All levels and abilities are welcome. Some experience or familiarity with Indian miniature painting will be beneficial but is not required. Students with experience painting will benefit from gaining the ability to draw their subject free hand.
