This workshop will focus on painting the figure from life in their clothes. We will be focusing on proportions and comparative measuring techniques. The effective use of triangulation, angles and as well as various techniques that will assist us in rendering our painting. We will learn squinting techniques for seeing and capturing values and form. We will learn about retinal painting techniques and sculptural painting techniques and when to use them. We will be talking about folds, the laws of folds, and how to make them convincing. We will be discussing color, how to match it, when to deviate from the color you see, and how it relates to reality vs how it relates to your painting. We will also discuss the mixing of colors, the use of mediums and other issues related to painting.
