Beginning Figure Painting
If you love drawing the figure and want to try your hand at oil painting, this workshop is for you! We’ll go through the process step-by- step, from materials to paint mixing. Beginning with drawing in graphite, we will move into painting, simplifying the figure into its basic value shapes, and learning to mix gorgeous flesh tones from a simple palette of three colors plus white.
***********
The Limited Palette Portrait
Do you love painting portraits but struggle with capturing a likeness or mixing beautiful flesh tones? Would you like to work from photos but feel the resulting paintings lack that spark of liveliness? Do you want to loosen up your brushwork and be more free to experiment with color in your portraits?
Working from a live model we’ll use a simple palette of three colors and white to create beautiful, naturalistic skin tones. There are many benefits to using a limited palette, and the technique can be applied to any kind of painting you want to do - landscape, still life, even abstract! The alla prima painting style, in which a work is begun and finished in one or two sittings, while the paint is still wet, is lots of fun and perfect for exploring the portrait in oils.
