The follow-up to my first class on figure drawing was a weekend of figure painting in oil. There was so much to learn during this session, and I was grateful I had the figure drawing class refresher to build from.

Some of the most important things I learned were about limiting the values of a work and still getting the same message across. The last session of the workshop was a limited value piece of a figure in front of a bright window, and it took so much mental concentration to express the figure with the appropriate values and watch it come to life. I am ready to put my new skills to use!
