You are invited to a Master Class workshop at the Appleton Museum led by visiting artist Anthony Ackrill. The Master Class series of workshops is designed for adults who wish to advance their skills or try their hand at something a little more challenging.
Ackrill’s three-part figure drawing workshop is scheduled on Nov. 4, 11 and 18 from 1-4 p.m. The artist will teach participants how to establish a solid rendition of the model and train the brain, eyes and hand to work together to see and record more, with greater accuracy.
The Gainesville-based artist trained as a student at the Florence Academy of Art in Italy for five years before becoming an instructor there, teaching anatomy, figure painting and figure drawing. In his own work, Ackrill’s figure paintings are realistic and literal. Those who have visited the Appleton might recognize “Reaper,” a visitor-favorite painted by Ackrill.
The workshop is $210 for Appleton members; $245 for nonmembers. Advance registration is required; registrations are being accepted at AppletonMuseum.org. Email questions to AppletonEducation@cf.edu.
