Water-Soluble Graphite Figure Paintings

ID : 7419   
« back to classes page
CourseGraphic Students will be working with water-soluble graphite to represent the figure through line and tone. This medium is similar to using black watercolor paint or even gouache. Working with shades of gray is one of the best training techniques to gain confidence in painting. An emphasis will be placed on breaking down the human form into simple tonal shapes to create contrast and three–dimensional modeling. Students will be able to explore expressive and gestural paintings where they are free to work in a realistic or exaggerated manner. Experimental techniques will be an important aspect to help to bring life and energy into the work. This is a great introduction for anyone interested in oil painting. Materials fee covers the live model. Please note: This class uses life (nude) models. Students under 18 years of age must have written permission from a parent or guardian to participate.
