Figure Painting in Grisaille
PD-Class | Registration opens Monday, June 29, 2026 10:00 AM EDT
Working with models over the course of 6 weeks, we will explore painting the figure in oil paint. Grisaille is a French term meaning ‘greyed’ and with using only a few pigments, our goal will be to create a voluminous representation of the figure. By simplifying our palette, it gives us the opportunity to focus primarily on value and paint handling while also examining the structure and anatomy of the model. There will be discussions on drawing, palette organization and paint application through demonstration and practice.
Prereq: Life Drawing, Oil Painting I, or similar exp. Not suitable for beginners.

Andrew Maurice Grant was born in Montego Bay, Jamaica and migrated to the United States at an early age. His first formal art education was received from Crealdé School of Art and further developed by receiving private academic art training in 2011.
The subject matter for his art is centered around representing women through figuration. Intrigued by mystery and symbolism, Grant uses the feminine as a way to explore these motifs. In 2021, he had his first solo museum exhibition at the Appleton Museum of Art. Grant has exhibited nationally and has work in private collections.
