In this course, traditional limited palettes are explored as a means to achieve realism with the figure and still life. Students, using acrylics, apply basic colour theory, mixing and painting technique to describe figures and objects in light and shade, warm and cool light, and three dimensional space. Transparent painting media and the fundamentals of composition relating to figurative illustration are also introduced. Ongoing sketchbook assignments maintain a drawing routine outside the classroom. In addition, students attend a drawing workshop as a supplement to this course to further their understanding of anatomy.
