Painting the Figure in Oil
Online Course (5 Weeks)
Sundays 5-8 PM EST (2-5 PM PST)
July 7- August 4
Using a contemporary approach to painting the figure, we will focus on seeing, organizing, and simplifying shapes of color and value. Each week’s assignment will help you gain fluency and speed with oil paint while working from the figure.
Working with still images, we will learn techniques to help you create sophisticated figure paintings from your own studio. The course aims to set you up with a structure for practicing figure painting on your own, translating photographic reference in an organic way. This class is suitable for all skill levels.
Class time will encompass in-depth painting demonstrations, lecture, Q/A, and individual feedback for the Full Seat participants. Classes will meet on Zoom. Homework, class recordings, and class materials will be available through Padlet.
