Beginning Figure Painting in Oil

$260 MEMBER PRICE: $234

with Derys Lyttle

Calendar Nov 20, 2026 at 5:30 pm, runs for 4 weeks

If you feel intimidated by the thought of figure painting live nude models in oils, this class is for you.

We'll go over fundamentals of oil painting, like learning to mix color, and organizing a limited color palette. Then learn to immediately begin to capture shape by converging shapes to “build” the figure. You'll get instruction on using value to convey directions of movement and tensions in the pose. This class focuses on approaches that give us our first understanding of how to think of three- dimensional form as we learn to pain it on a two-dimensional surface.

Materials not included. Please bring the following supplies:

- Oil paints: yellow ochre, ultramarine blue, alizarine crimson, white and burnt umber to start.

- Brushes: flat 6 or 8, filbert 4 and/or 6 and liner. Sizes will vary depending on the size of your painting.

- Brush washer Palette knife A palette, Gamsol (solvent), a mason jar for storing used Gamsol. Two mid-sized panel or canvas
