Abstract Figures: Level 3

Art on 30th See all classes by this school @ 4434 30th Street, San Diego

This expressive figurative painting class begins with loose, gestural drawing from a clothed model and guides students toward creating abstracted, dynamic figure paintings using bold color, simplified shapes, and inventive compositions. Through demos, artist studies, and individualized feedback, students will develop both sketches and 1–2 paintings that reflect their own story and a freer, more intuitive approach to the human figure.
