One day Workshops
Saturday 4th April 2020
Characterful People
Acrylics & Oils. All abilities
Not a portrait, but more than just a few figures in a scene.
How do we tackle paintings were a figure, or group of figures, make up the main focus and bulk of a painting?
As with so many subjects, a few pointers, basic principles and techniques go a long way.
Amongst all the usual painting principles we will be focusing on creating figures that have gesture, movement and of course, character!
Specifically:
-
How to construct any figure at any scale, any position
-
Correct Proportions
-
How to capture gesture, movement and character
-
How light hits the human form
-
How to bring all this together into a working painting
p.s. It's not as hard as you might think!
