Persian Miniature Painting: The Figure

If humankind is the measure of all things, then the human figure is the measure of a miniature. Students in this class will be guided with the meditative concentrated energy it takes to paint the figure in miniature painting. Study the swishing drapery of the robes and long, languid lines of clothing – drawing with a brush. Examine action and quiet posture. There are a lot of stories in a gesture. During the class, students will break down the subject to the minutest level and inspect every last detail – miniature painting is, after all, all about the detail. Hone your skills and dive deeply into the minutiae of miniature figures, i.e. the roundness of a shoulder, the tilt of a neck and the position of the legs. A single subtle shift of a line can make a person sigh, agree, disagree, beg, command, rejoice. These nuances are subtle and they take time.
