Gain a solid foundation in oil painting techniques while exploring the structural anatomy of the human body. This class will teach you to “draw with a brush” as we paint from a live, clothed model using a strong light source. Students will learn to paint skin tones with a limited palette and to incorporate the “fat over lean” principle to build rich and luminous layers of color, using inspiration from both historical and contemporary paintings in the galleries.<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}">
