This class is for artists who have had some experience working from the model, and are interested in developing new approaches to figurative painting in oil (or acrylic). Participants will work directly from the figure each day, and will be encouraged to focus on process versus product. Early in the week, classes will consist of many quick oil studies or gesture paintings, completed in 20 minute to one hour intervals; participants will work toward longer studies as the week progresses. The goal is to challenge and increase one's ability to see.
