Painting the Human Figure in Oil This class will be taught at my studio in San Francisco, and will focus on painting the human figure from life. Painting from life provides invaluable painting experience in observation, drawing, color, proportion, paint application and more. If you can paint something as familiar, loaded and complex as the human figure, and do it well, you are well on your way to being able to paint anything. Models will be provided and the class will be appropriate for beginners as well as more advanced students. Prospective students should have a good knowledge of basic drawing concepts, and of course figure drawing experience is very helpful, but not absolutely neccessary. Some basic painting experience will also be helpful. Various approaches to painting the figure will be covered. Classes forming now for spring 2010, contact me for more information, or search for painting classes in SF on www.teachstreet.com At left: Study from Life--11"x17", oil on canvas, 2009 |

Private instruction I have been teaching drawing and painting on a private basis for nearly ten years, with students from 9 years old and up. Private lessons are ideal for self-motivated students who have a regular practice of painting, as well as for beginners looking to break the inertia and intimidation and get started. Private lessons are tailored to the needs of the individual student, beginner to advanced, in all media, with an eye toward helping students achieve their personal artistic and painterly goals, from realism to abstraction. Instruction is available in all traditional painting & drawing media, from water media (watercolor, gouache, acrylic) to oils. Lessons are individual/private, and are typically 3 hour sessions involving lecture/discussion, then actual painting practice and tutorial. Lessons can be as often as twice a week, as infrequent as once a month. Reasonable rates, ($40/hr), private SF location. Also check out my listing on www.teachstreet.com
