Prudence Flint Masterclass: Figure in a space

Posted by Sas Lyon

Working with a model in a constructed domestic space, students will draw freely the figure in a series of exercises creating depth and a feeling of space, looking at light and composition. These drawings will be used as a framework for a layered tonal study using gouache, mixing cool and warm greys from Burnt Sienna, Ultramarine Blue and White. This workshop is suited to students that are familiar with basic and more advanced painting.
