Paint from the live model, and work from short-to-long poses as you study color-mixing strategies and application techniques. Develop your understanding of oil painting with each figure painting and how to treat the figure as a pictorial subject.

  • Paint:
  • · Flake White (If you prefer not to use a lead white, a mixed white is recommended)
  • · Naples Yellow Light
  • · Yellow Ochre Light (Old Holland)
  • · Burnt Sienna
  • · Cadmium Red Light (Gamblin)
  • · Light Red (Winsor Newton)

  • · Raw Umber (Winsor Newton)
  • Supports:
  • · 1 - 16”x 20” Canvas panel primed with the middle-value gray gesso.
  • Brushes: You can bring in your favorite brushes to work with, but in case you need to purchase some here is what I suggest to start with.

  • · 1 or 2 each of #2, 4 & 6 filbert synthetic or sable brushes for oil
