Proportion – Creating Unity
How do you make a figure feel like it belongs in the scene?
This class focuses on proportion as a tool for visual unity—adjusting the size of figures and objects not just to copy reality, but to design it. You’ll explore how changing relationships of scale can strengthen structure, focus the viewer’s attention, and build a more compelling composition.
Working from a live model, you’ll create figurative paintings that feel intentional, clear, and grounded—where every part supports the whole.
Figure Painting: Narrative through Style Summer Series
Discover how artists turn a single figure into a whole story.In this series, we’ll explore how stylization of the human body creates meaning, emotion, and narrative. Each class focuses on one master artist’s approach to form: their distortions, exaggerations, rhythms, and structures that shape how we feel about what we see.
Working from a live model, you’ll study these different visual “languages” and invent your own. Classes are monochromatic (your choice of color), pushing you to think through shape, proportion, and design without the distraction of color. You’ll practice quick gestures and build toward finished figurative compositions, applying one principle of design each week.
