Develop your figure-painting skills in this series of art classes for adults. Join us for six Saturday afternoons to immerse yourself in art, meet new people and uncover the extraordinary possibilities of oil paint in depicting the human form.
What you will learn:
Students will explore modernism in relation to life painting from a nude model. Beginning with a tour of The Robertson Gift: Paths through Modernity, students will be introduced to modern artists who broke from classical representations of nature. Students will adopt modernist techniques to drawing and painting, gaining a deeper understanding of colour, light and abstraction of the human form. A focus on observing the figure through a planar approach will aid in composition, colour balance and harmony in painting.
