Painting the Clothed Figure

A set of 5 films full of engaging and valuable demonstrations, exercises, instruction and inspiring poses to help artists create expressive paintings. Your model, Eve, is currently studying costume design at Wimbledon College of Art and has assembled a striking red and black costume, with fantastic accessories, that has statuesque drama, glamour and elegance. There are 3 films lasting approximately 35 minutes each where Emily is painting and explaining her process and decision making. The paintings that she makes explore the versatility of paint as it glides, sculpts, glows and layers to create the character and movement of the figure. Taking the fear away from painting directly from Eve as she poses Emily uses paint in the way that she draws; fluidly, boldly and playfully to find the qualities of the body, fabric and attitude. The processes she offers result in fresh, vital and surprising paintings. The 2 short films have lots of beautiful poses, both seated and standing, that can be paused and used to paint from to create new work using the exercises offered.

Once purchased you have unlimited access to the films. Use them as much as you like. Re-watch, pause, rewind so that you can catch every pearl of wisdom. Watch and notice the wealth of practical expertise that Emily shares; listen to her thoughts as she demonstrates in front of the camera, articulating gems of information that can give every artist knowledge and courage to enable them to be expressive and confident.
