This figure painting course explores the foundational observation and painting techniques that can be used to effectively understand and depict the human form.
The resources provided in the course will include;
Students will work on two major artworks during the term: a copy of a master figurative artwork and an original artwork created from life, with the model holding a long pose over multiple classes.
During this course, you will be provided with in-depth technical instruction and artistic guidance including:
Working from a Master artwork is an invaluable and highly instructive practice, enabling artists to more successfully understand and employ effective painting approaches and techniques, material use, compositional decision making, and conceptual development.
Working directly from a model provides artists the ultimate opportunity to study and understand the anatomy, three-dimensionality, and surface quality of the human form before applying this learning throughout the creative process.
Students will be encouraged to explore, develop and integrate their own ideas in the creation of their unique figurative artworks.
