BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Streamline Premium Art Videos has released a new instructional video from Tim Rees titled "Tim Rees | Modern Figures: Painting Big, Fresh, and Loose." Rees is an Art Renewal Center-approved instructor and modern master painter, known for his life-size figure paintings done in the manner of Alphonse Mucha and Victorian artists of the 1800s.
In this video, art students will follow in the footsteps of the Old Masters by creating impactful modern figure paintings. Award-winning artist Tim Rees guides students from preliminary steps to finishing strokes as he creates one of his breathtaking, energetic life-size works.
Students will start with a lesson on how to set up the model and complete an expressive color study. They then learn how to translate a life-size figure onto canvas using shadow map drawing to set the placement of the figure, resolve shapes, and differentiate between lights and darks. From there they will proceed to complete the painting, from face to figure to background. Along the way they will learn tips for simplified color mixing, using paint application to create depth, how to make a variety of edges, and the mechanics of working on a life-size canvas!
And for those painters who aren't sure if they are ready to paint big — they too will benefit from Tim's instruction for all of their figure paintings! Whether painting big or small, figure painters are going to discover how much fun painting fresh, loose, and free can be with Tim's show-stopping techniques and instruction.
Rees says, "I hope students are able to get an insight into the mechanics behind painting large, avoiding distortions with an understanding of how to paint large — concepts of creating depth, getting good quality color and varied paint application, and figuring out how to put all of these elements together."
He adds, "See the whole picture! You can get as tight as you want or you can loosen up and have fun."
