An excellent introduction to the basics of figure painting
This course will start with the very basics and is ideal for anyone who has limited experience or is completely new to oil paints or working with a life model.
Students will learn how to use oil paint and mixing colours found in the flesh will be demonstrated. We will also explore colour dynamics and the relationship between tone and colour.
Students will finish the course with a better understanding of the proportions of the figure and how to use expressive mark making having completed a number of oil paintings plus charcoal sketches and colour studies.
