One day Workshops

Figures but bigger!
All mediums & abilities
All though people often shy away from painting figures they are great fun and a very rewarding subject matter!!
With a few pointers, tricks and tips hopefully you will feel encouraged to paint more of them.
We will be looking at the a figure, or multiple figures, being the main focal point of the painting. This could be any setting from figures on a beach, market scenes or generally out and about, to a posed figure, or even a nude for those of you feeling adventurous!!
As well as the usual painting foundations and basics we will be looking specifically at:
​
-
Basic anatomy and why it's important
-
Proportions and constructing a figure
-
Lines of motion, even in stationery figures
-
Creating form
-
Looking at how light hits a figure
-
What to do with the face at any scale
-
How to place your figures in the scene and what to look for
