Figure painting in oil from life

Create a full-length figure painting in oils on this four-day course, working from a life model each day.

You’ll draw a pose in charcoal and learn how to transfer your drawing onto a canvas or plywood panel, exploring oil painting techniques to build up layers of paint. As well as a focus on traditional oil paint techniques, you’ll also learn to consider the flow of light, the focal points of your painting, and a sense of atmosphere around the figure.

Run by Emily Roberts, an artist who specialises in working from life, this course is based on our beautiful Falmouth campus and is suitable for all levels.
