Scott Breton is returning to the RQAS in 2023 with his Form, Gesture & Anatomy course.
Learning to draw the figure can be overwhelming….
… artistic anatomy can be confusing and hard to apply to drawing the figure…
…where to start? How to stay motivated to actually follow through?
Save yourself time and suffering – come with me on this guided journey into drawing the figure expressively, convincingly and 3-dimensionally.
This course applies every tool, trick and resource I have developed in over 10 years of teaching figure drawing to make your journey towards mastering the figure as enjoyable and efficient as possible.
10 x Saturdays, Session 1: Simplified Anatomy 10am- 12:30 – Lunch break – Session 2: Classical Life Class
SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE
Tertiary students can also apply for one of 2 Royal Queensland Art Society $300 scholarships in addition to the discount above. Send 4 drawings to info@scottbreton.art and these will be reviewed by the RQAS. Since this course is focussed on traditional drawing skills and knowledge, I recommend including figure drawings that show your current abilities in portraying the figure convincingly, and with vitality, whether in line or tone.

About Scott Breton:
Scott Breton is a figurative fine artist from Brisbane, Australia.
After completing a science degree (BSc (Genetics) University of Queensland) and contemplating a career in biotechnology, Scott committed fully to pursuing art, continuing a classically leaning arts education and practice begun much earlier. In 2012 Scott won the highly contested A.M.E. Bale Travelling Scholarship, Australia’s largest national prize for developing the careers of traditional representational artists. This allowed Scott to do further study with contemporary classical artists in the US and Europe, and has contributed to his view of the relevance of Renaissance thinking and aesthetics in the Arts in the 21st century.
Using a range of traditional drawing, painting and sculpting media as well as exploring digital counterparts to these, Scott sees plastic composition rather than any particular media as the core of the classical ethos. He is interested in how this sense of plasticity can be utilised by the contemporary artist. This endeavour seems to closely mirror a more general exploration of how the specifics of the contemporary human experience relate to and can be informed by insights about the human condition that have emerged across all of human history.
To continue and expand his work in fine art education, Scott was a cofounder of The International Arts and Culture Group (TIAC Group) in 2016, and now spends his time between Brisbane, Australia and Florence, Italy, working on his compositions and TIAC’s arts education projects.
