This oil painting class focuses on placing the figure in a specific setting, outdoors (weather permitting) or indoors, to achieve a specific mood. In the outdoor setting, we would place the clothed figure in a garden setting, with trees in the distance, and paint the scene as we see it. For the indoor setting, we will stage the model with props. The idea of making a complete painting, along with the environment in which the model is placed, is essential for this class. Not only will we focus on the technical aspects of painting the figure, but also realize the importance of the space which surrounds it.
