Painting The Human Form From Photographs







This course helped us to come to grips with the sequence and considerations to be followed to paint the human form. A two week course is way too short to learn this through working off the model so we worked from photographs instead, and then we still ran short of time. Michael John Angel ran this course and his knoweldge of art is incredible. He was very generous in sharing this with the students.



We had to start with working off a black and white photo, then paint in colour on a white canvas, and then on a brown campitua or field colour to understand what each does to the relative chroma of the flesh colours.
