Life Painting In Oils Adele Wagstaff

Service Description

This course will cover all aspects of making a well composed painting of the nude, from drawing to setting up, colour-mixing, and exploring how tone and colour temperature can be explored to describe the structure, shape, form and anatomy of the human body. During the three-day course you will have the opportunity to work on two oil studies; our first model will hold a one-day pose as we will explore a limited palette, and our second model will hold a sustained pose through days two and three to allow for a more considered study of the human figure. While mixing and laying-out a palette, we will introduce and discuss basic colour theory. There will be one-to-one tuition throughout the three days, alongside opportunities for group feedback as we look at how all the paintings are progressing, and the course will end with a group discussion as we look at each others’ work.
