IL 3105 - Figure Painting I

Credits: 3
Course Type: Studio

In this studio course, students paint from live, nude figure models to develop color and painting skills. The emphasis will be placed on depicting believable forms using both direct and indirect painting methods, such as glazing. Students will employ a range of brushes and techniques to intentionally create texture, hard/soft edges, form, and depth. In addition, students will practice manipulating the attributes of color such as hue, value, saturation, and temperature to effectively apply color harmonies to figurative work.
