Gesture Figure Painting in Oil

Class | Available

Working on canvas or canvas panels ranging from 5”x7” to 8”x10” and 9”x12” we will work towards capturing gesture and feeling rather than rendering. Paintings will be executed in 15, 20 and 30 minute sessions. Emphasis will be on indication of color notes and value control. This class is designed to help artists develop a “juicy” style of painting alla prima.


  • Please use a color palette appropriate for your skill level.
