PT489 Painting the Clothed Figure with Markissia Touliatos
October 30 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Fridays, 6 Week Class
All levels welcome!
In this six week course, students will learn the technique of painting a clothed human figure from a Photographic reference. Using a grid, you will draw the image on a canvas while mapping out the shadow and light patterns. Emphasis will be placed on proportion, gesture, fabric, folds, and how clothing describes the form beneath. Also, we will focus on color mixing and creating realistic skin tones. You will learn how to transfer an image to a large canvas of any size by using a simple accurate grid. The instructor will provide the photographs already gridded and conduct step-by-step demonstrations along with lots of individual instruction on how to proceed. This class is suitable for all skill levels.
