Workshop 6

Learning from Bouguereau

Instructor: Jered Woznicki

22 July – 02 August 2024 | 60 hours

William Bouguereau (1825-1905) was one of the preeminent painters of the 19th century. Among academic artists of his generation, his ability to create vividly realistic, flawless figures established his reputation in the top echelon of artists devoted to the presentation of the human form.

In this two-week workshop, students will be guided by Angel Academy’s senior instructor, Jered Woznicki, through the stages of the painting process in the recreation of one of Bouguereau’s iconic nudes. The aim of this workshop is to discover how this Master utilized the techniques and artistic conceptions at his disposal in order to create his breathtaking paintings and how contemporary painters can profit from an understanding of Bouguereau’s work in order to increase the impact, breadth and subtlety of one’s own creations from the live model.

Numerous hi-res images (printed to scale) will be provided to each student to facilitate this in-depth study of the Master’s work.

*Note: This is an advanced course. It is recommended that applicants have some experience with drawing and oil paint.

.

Students will receive various pdf and jpeg send-outs that encapsulate the correct methods of using oil paint. These send-outs explain the different grounds, materials and mediums used in oil painting and also describe the various layers used in traditional underpainting-overpainting techniques.
