Abstract Figures: Level 3

Art on 30th See all classes by this school @ 4434 30th Street, San Diego

This expressive figurative painting class begins with loose, gestural drawing from a clothed model and guides students toward creating abstracted, dynamic figure paintings using bold color, simplified shapes, and inventive compositions. Through demos, artist studies, and individualized feedback, students will develop both sketches and 1–2 paintings that reflect their own story and a freer, more intuitive approach to the human figure.

Class Description

Description

Learn new ways of seeing the world around you by combining Realism with Minimalism and all the basics of acrylic painting.

If you love the style of artists David Hockney, Anna Mac and Andrew Faulkner—you'll love this class! Learn new ways of seeing the world around you by combining Realism with Minimalism and all the basics of acrylic painting.

When it comes to Realism, there are several factors that help make a painting look realistic. We’ll cover those techniques and practice applying them in minimalist scenes.

This class is perfect for beginners, artists who typically paint abstract styles, or anyone interested in building a foundation in Realism with a minimalist spin.

In five weeks, we will explore:

  • How to capture proportion and form
  • Perspective basics
  • Value, lighting, and shadows
  • Tenets of minimalism
  • Origins and influences of Minimalism

You’ll walk away understanding the elements of Realism with the techniques to master them in a minimalist style. Students will walk away with at least two beautiful paintings.
