If you already have an idea, we will go into technical details about materials and techniques required to make a great work . Then, I will talk to you about the entire program, modules, house rules and resources. Lastly, we are starting by building your MINDSET around THE MAKING of a great art work.

If you are more advanced in your drawing skills, Flaviu will prepare fore you tasks and homework that are more advanced. Studies of drapery and different poses of a portrait will take you into a new level of study.
Now is also the moment when we start to develop variations of ‘The Outline Drawing’ for your masterpiece. This is a STEP of absolute importance into the creative process. That will take place both in your mind but also by starting to draw ideas and concepts into your sketchbook. In the end, these ideas will be fuel and guidance in the making of your masterpiece.

A few very important aspects in this period will be: the power of concentration, your mindset, the ability to SEE things that you never saw before and your phisiologycal power to endure the slow process of painting. If you will embrace these ideas and approach this period with a positive attitude, your success in building your best painting so far is guaranteed!
