Check out these incredible figure paintings made by one of our teens! She's been learning how to sketch in acrylics with limited colour palettes and she's been doing incredibly! 🔥
The goal of the exercise is for students to use paint to block out the silhouette of the subject. It allows them to see the big picture quickly, which is something that takes time when using graphite. This exercise develops a student's observational art skills as they do their best to capture the general idea of the pose and body type of the model before applying detail!
We've also been using animals for this exercise as well to expose students to a variety of different unusual shapes and subjects. We'll be posting them soon!
