Working with a life model each day, create a full-length figure painting in oils on this 4-day course with Emily Roberts. The course is based in a lovely light fine art studio on our beautiful Falmouth campus.Using the historic sight-size method employed by Titian, Velazquez and Singer Sargent, you'll be supported to create a full-length figure painting over the course of 4 days.
You'll begin by drawing a pose in charcoal, focusing on light and shadow; before being taught the technique to transfer this drawing onto a panel (either canvas or plywood, as you choose). Beginners can find they get a better result from working onto plywood, whereas those with more experience can use canvas – however both choices will be supported for everyone.
The course will introduce you to traditional oil painting techniques and the limited palette of colours, and Emily will support you to carefully build up layers of paint, exploring various techniques for oil painting as we explore colour, tone, anatomy and light effect.
You'll leave with your final charcoal drawing on paper and your final full-length figure painting on canvas or plywood.
This course is taught by Emily Roberts, an artist and teacher whose work is held in private collections across Europe and North America.
All materials you’ll need are included.
Cost: £595, includes all materials needed.
