This painting course explores perceptual and conceptual approaches to painting both the representative figure and the abstract figure. Students will increase their competence in dynamic composition, color and expressive painting techniques.

This course is a classical approach to formal portraiture based on naturalism. Two approaches will be explored: e’bauche and demi-teinte

Students will learn the painting of people as objects or shapes within the painting, rather than as subjects. The principles of dramatic light and shadow, atmospheric perspective, focal point and perspective will be developed.
