Does anyone know of any good figurative oil painting courses?

[Appalonia]

Hi I've recently taken up oil painting and I'm looking to find courses to help develop my skills, looking for both online and in person courses, this is a bit of a random request for MN, but if anyone knows of any I'd be truly grateful. X

Not off hand but there’s. A lot on you tube. I love painting the figure and I would say the best thing you can do is draw draw draw. It will help you get your eye trained so that you are able to see and measure accurately which will be of massive benefit when you are seeing and applying shadows etc.
basically use..brown sienna acrylic to rough in the figure and block in the darks, water it down a bit and block in the mid stones. Mix a big pile of cad red, yellow ochre and white into a flesh colour with some dark tone, some mid tone and some light wack on the dark first( very thin) then the lighter. Once you have a thin layer of paint dar to light, start gently adding colour.
easy!
just one of many ways to paint the figure. Old masters would paint it in green monotone first so that when you add thin washes of flesh colour the green shows through to give you that appearance of veins just below the surface.
fascinating! Good luck

You can pm me if you need more help!

Thank you, I appreciate your advice. I've learnt a lot from Youtube, there's some fantastic artists I there!

The Norfolk School of Painting is ok if you want to learn oil painting techniques
