Here are a couple in-class demo paintings I did on Monday and Tuesday at the Art Center College of Design. I like this set up because the lighting is quite different, rather than use the lighting spotlight all the time, I like to have the students paint the figures by the ambient fluorescent light of the room which has a very soft, cool effect in contrast to the hard, warm spotlight. My goal with these was to get the color notes right to get the 'real' feeling rather than relying on detail and rendering. oil on paper, 14 by 13 and 20 by 16

is that a student sleeping? lol
Those are wonderful Alex. I just came from a figure workshop and i can't even post what i came out with. It's dutifully in the trash.
thanks jose! Keep doing it! I mostly paint landscape but I've continued to paint the nude because of my teaching. Now and then I really like a classroom piece, but I want to start some personal nudes soon that I can devote more "love" to rather than just a study!
