ARTIST INSIGHTS - JONATHAN LONG
"You can’t understand the process of Renaissance drawing without the materials"
Jonathan Long is the founder of The Renaissance Workshop, which aims to revive the artisanal drawing techniques used by artists of the 15th and 16th centuries. In this Artist Insights film, Jonathan tells us how his desire for historical authenticity gives his life meaning, how a knowledge of materials helps us connect with the art of the Old Masters, and why he believes that the Renaissance approach to drawing is still so vital today.
