Flesh Painting will guide students toward developing
their skill using the technical, compositional and conceptual skills that will
be demonstrated and discussed. Students will study both from the old masters
and contemporary paintings, as well as from the live model to create a
successful painting. Accurate drawing and proportion will be stressed as each
student learns to portray the human form in space. Strategies in technique,
such as usage of impasto, glazes, and scumbling, will be discussed in order to
create form and illusion. In addition, color relationships will be stressed in
order to create space and volume. The final goal is to have each student begin
to realize their own style and channeling it toward a successful figure
painting.
First Day: Please bring a prepared canvas of your
choice, about 12x18 or so, or prepared water color paper with matte medium (a
