INDIRECT FIGURE PAINTING IN ACRYLICS AND OILS with Marshall Jones

In this workshop we will explore old masters techniques using modern and traditional materials. After creating a preparatory drawing to transfer to a surface we will begin our under painting in Acrylic. Taking advantage of the fast drying times we will explore when and how to use glazes, stumbles, Velaturas as well as a variety of mediums. Once we are comfortable with the process we will start to build up color and texture to then finish the painting with a couple layers of translucent oil.
