ILLUSTIONIST PAINTING BEGINNERS

“Illusionist Painting” is an atelier-style course focused on contemporary representational painting practices, with an emphasis on figure painting from life. Students will have extended class time to accomplish paintings from the live model. The course will include an observational approach to painting the human figure, and will develop skills in proportion, perspective, modeling form and illusion, based on the beginner version level of the class. The beginner version of this class will emphasize materials set-up, preliminary drawing and proportions, and clear color and color value planes on the objects and models. null We will cover contemporary methods and materials, and traditional methods in panel painting, canvas and chassis, ground preparation, pigment preparation, varnishes and mediums, and mural painting among other methods and processes. null null null
