The basic principle of figure painting relies on well designed, shapes of light and dark which allow for the description of beautiful form. The focus will be on achieving accurate drawing and correct values; two of the most crucial aspects of representational painting. There will be instruction on how to mix clean color in the correct value and temperature in order to create the illusion of light on the figure.

This workshop will equip you with the skills and knowledge to break free from photo references and create artworks that resonate with the light and atmosphere of plein air painting. We will move beyond simply copying photographs & instead focus on creating painterly and convincing watercolors that capture the essence of plein air work. The key to this transformation is learning how to paint light rather than just rendering objects as they appear in the photo. As a professional artist, understanding how to paint light is what sets you apart.
