In this figure painting workshop, students Will be able to work on two paintings done from two different live models. Emphasis will be on Solid drawing and structure, composition, brush handling & color mixing. Danny will give a morning demo, going through every aspect of figure painting. A loose charcoal composition will come first, followed by strong burnt umber lines and accents that will seal the structure and likeness. A full color palette will be then used to "sculpt" the form with tiles of paint. Thinner shadows and impastos in the lights will be shown to give a sense of tridimensionality. Students will start a painting with the same steps and techniques in mind with constant one on one constructive critiques by Danny. That whole day will be spent on the painting started on day one with ongoing individual critiques and comments. New model, new painting...same process and techniques done at a faster more intuitive pace.
