Hands are one of the most difficult parts of the figure to paint, even more so when you consider all the emotion they can express. Building on the previous hand drawing class, we’ll move forward to painting the hand in oil, depicting all the subtly and nuance of the form. Beginning with large masses and planes, we’ll slowly develop into detail one of the most expressive parts of the human figure in oil paints.
