Heads, Hands, and Feet Workshop w/ Samantha Stover

Workshop | Available

The devil is in those details...! In this 2-day workshop, we will make an intensive study of the most sensitive and expressive parts of the human form: heads, hands, and feet. Through structural simplification and class exercises, we will demystify these complex anatomical areas. On the 2nd day, we will work from observation with the draped/clothed model in a long pose wherein the head, hands, and feet are essential to the meaningfulness of the composition.

Samantha Stover

Samantha Stover grew up in Bethesda, Maryland. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Literature and Art History from McGill University and a Masters in Fine Art, cum laude, from the New York Academy of Art. Throughout her academic studies in art, she focused her concentration on Drawing Techniques: historical methods and materials as well as figure-drawing exclusively from life. She learned painting, predominantly, as a copyist in New York and Washington, DC and she has traveled widely through Europe studying master drawings and paintings. Her current work involves figuration and the power of creative expression. Drawing also on her previous experience as a theatrical costume designer, she is influenced by the performative and communicative capacity of the human form and spirit. She employs the practices of her traditional training and her experience with the figure in motion to capture fleeting observations, emotions and memories.
