Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this figure painting class:

Discover how to use photographs of the figure as subject and inspiration in a contemporary painting course using oil or acrylic. You’ll be encouraged to develop your own ‘voice’ through a sustained, individualized studio practice. As you learn painting and design basics and how to find the poetic focus and essence of the pose, you’ll also explore the fundamentals of portrait painting and color theory with reference to art history. Life drawing experience is useful but not required.
