Figure Drawing and Painting

Figure Drawing and Painting

Instructor: Steve Forster

figure back painting

 

 

This class focuses on practical academic portrait- and figure-drawing and painting methods. Simple methods for ascertaining proper proportions, drawing and shading will be thoroughly discussed. The class is designed to eliminate the guesswork and trial-and-error approach to painting & drawing, and it is suited to beginning, intermediate and advanced painters. The model will take a sustained pose for those wishing to create a more finished work. Students are welcome to either draw or paint in the class.
