“There is nothing in all the world more beautiful or significant of the laws of the universe than the nude human body.” - Robert Henri

Painting the nude has been a staple exercise in learning the language of oil painting for 100's of years. This workshop will break down the process of describing the form and effect of light on the figure into simple step-by-step principles. We will paint from the model in one pose during the day, taking shorter breaks allowing for more painting time. Additionally, the workshop instruction will include use of materials, simple colour theory, mixing and handling of oil paint and basic anatomy.

FIGURE PAINTING IN OILS WEEKEND WORKSHOP

WEEKEND WORKSHOP AT FLUX STUDIOS

Saturday & Sunday, 9.30am - 4pm

€250

Painting the figure has always been a staple exercise in learning the craft of oil painting, and this weekend workshop covers the core skills required. This course is ideal for those looking to start their exploration into the art of Figure Painting, or for the more experienced artist who wants to improve their fundamentals. Nick Robinson (Florence Academy prize winner 2012 & 2013, Zurich Portrait Prize Finalist 2019 & 2021) will instruct in the visual method: translating what we observe from life into oil painting on the canvas. 


We will explore the materials involved, some theory and preparation for the model. The rest of the session will be comprised of working from the nude in one single-pose painting.  By the completion of the course participants will have a clear understanding of the techniques and steps involved in painting the figure, as well as increased levels of observational skill. No prior experience is necessary, only a strong interest in painting from life.

€230.00

Wednesdays x 4 weeks

9.30am - 1pm (3.5hrs)

“every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself.”

— Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

This 4 week class (14 hours in total) using a live model offers a wonderful opportunity for in-depth study of portraiture with Nicholas Robinson.

Nicholas is an FAA portrait drawing award winner, a Hennessy portrait prize nominee, a Zurich portrait prize nominee and a Royal Academy of Portrait Artists exhibitor.

This series of classes is designed to present the process of portrait painting focussing on creating realistic form and light as well as the likeness, personality and expression of the sitter.

Each participant will work from the model receiving one-to-one instruction over the block in drawing accurately, colour mixing, use of oil paints and materials, painting techniques and theory.

ABOUT THIS TUTORED LIFE DRAWING COURSE

A 4 week short course in figure design and drawing basics.

Drawing the figure teaches us fundamental skills which are applicable when drawing any other subject. Improving observational drawing skills is also one of the most important ways to improve in painting, sculpting or whatever our chosen artistic discipline may be. 

Each week we will draw one full nude pose focussing on developing accuracy and design skills in describing the movement, proportion and anatomy of the figure. The instruction is based on individual critique with discussion of pencil and charcoal drawing techniques, materials, observational methods and tools and drawing theories and concepts and simple anatomy.

BLOCK T Skillsets Presents // Figure Painting in Oils // A weekend course with the artist Nicholas Robinson // Saturday December 7th & Sunday December 8th // 10:00 - 16:00

Painting the figure has always been a staple exercise in learning the craft of oil painting. This weekend course is ideal for those looking to start their exploration into the art of Figure Painting, or for the more experienced artist who wants to improve their fundamentals.

Nick Robinson (Florence Academy prize winner 2012 & 2013, Art Renewal Center finalist 2016) will instruct in the visual method: translating what we observe from life into oil painting on the canvas. We will explore the materials involved, some theory and preparation for the model. The rest of the session will be comprised of working from the nude in one single-pose painting.

Course Fee: €175

* Some materials will be provided, though a small materials list will be sent to each participant.

** A deposit option is available, with the remainder to be paid on the day

ABOUT THIS TUTORED LIFE DRAWING COURSE

A 4 week short course in figure design and drawing basics.

Drawing the figure teaches us fundamental skills which are applicable when drawing any other subject. Improving observational drawing skills is also one of the most important ways to improve in painting, sculpting or whatever our chosen artistic discipline may be. 

Each week we will draw one full nude pose focussing on developing accuracy and design skills in describing the movement, proportion and anatomy of the figure. The instruction is based on individual critique with discussion of pencil and charcoal drawing techniques, materials, observational methods and tools and drawing theories and concepts and simple anatomy.
