Gesture Portrait in Oil
Class | Registration opens 12/30/2024 9:00 AM PST
This course will expand upon your portrait painting foundational skills, and introduce you to the loose style and expressive edge work of gesture painting. These lessons will help you understand color and color mixing in a more instinctual way, as well as help hone your understanding of edge work and your ability to push and design from your reference. This charismatic approach to figure painting is a wonderful way to “loosen up” your painting approach and work on expressive brushmanship.
- This class will use oil painting materials. Please choose a color palette that is appropriate for your level (monochrome, Zorn or warm/cool primary).
