Session 4: April 16 - May 14 ($260)
Through sustained four week poses, students will be guided through the process of completing an accurate oil painting or drawing of the live model.
Students will learn to paint the structural landmarks of the human figure by combining the variations of form and plane. We will focus on the beginning stage by simplifying light and shadow to create shapes with a step- by-step approach, which will then allow you to build the detail of the body and achieve a likeness with human expression. You will learn to create a three-dimensional effect with depth of space by understanding and controlling your edges. Students of all levels of experience are welcome.
