Oil Painting The Figure / Nudes
Painting the Human Figure
The human figure, particularly nudes, have been a traditional subject of oil painting for centuries.
If aspiring to a form of realism then achieving accurate proportions and recreating the colours and softness of skin can be quite a challenge, but again are all possible with sufficient practice of drawing, blending, colour mixing and the use of value.
Life drawing is also certainly great preparation for learning to paint figures / nudes.
Lessons
Lessons in figure painting can be carried out using live models or photographs, with instruction in a variety of techniques.
Courses in Which Figure Painting is Taught
Figure painting is only taught as part of individual programs of tuition at present.
