Lecture “Direct and Indirect Figure Painting”
This lecture by painter and League workshop instructor Steven Assael will be held as a supplement to Assael’s upcoming painting workshop at the League — Direct & Indirect Figure Painting. Assael will discuss both an analytical and emotive approach to painting the human figure with an emphasis on color and value relationships in a relaxed atmosphere. The development of form through observation and interpretation of plane shifts projecting and receding from the eye will be stressed. Aspects of anatomy, proportion, and movement will be discussed along with the development of an Alla Prima technique that involves both scumbling and glazing.
