In this four-week workshop, we’ll explore painting and drawing techniques while working from photos of human poses*. We will focus on figures and forms from a variety of races and ethnicities and will practice painting a spectrum of skin tones. You’ll learn the basics of color theory, linear perspective, compositional structure, figure/ground relationships, and visual perception and will be able to use watercolor and gouache techniques such as wash, wet into wet, and dry brush. No experience necessary. *Please note – artist examples will include semi-nude imagery.
