New Art Instruction Video Released by Huihan Liu About Expressive Figure Painting
BOCA RATON, Fla. (PRWEB) August 05, 2018 -- Liliedahl Art Videos has just released a new instructional video from Huihan Liu titled “Expressive Figure Painting.” The video includes Huihans’s step-by-step process for painting expressive figures in oil with a loose, yet realistic feel, in the vein of artists like John Singer Sargent.
This is an over-11-hour, in-depth exploration of figure painting as Huihan Liu paints four different poses, paying attention to light and shadow shapes, color, and composition. He begins with an introduction to color mixing using a limited palette; students will be amazed at the range of color they can create with only three colors plus white.
Huihan then takes students through the painting process on each pose, from leading the eye with abstract shape patterns, to painting techniques for working thin, thick, or opaquely, to brushstrokes for accents and details. From there, students choose their favorite pose, and use all the painting lessons they have learned to create a fabulously fresh yet finished figure painting as they paint along with Huihan, step by step. Students will take their figure painting skills to the next level with Huihan Liu as their guide. Watch as he uncovers the secrets to painting figures with expressive color and composition.
“Most important is the light and shadow to give you the feeling you are looking for.” — Huihan Liu
