Oil Painting SECRETS Every Artist Should Know to Paint AMAZING Skin Tones

THE ATELIER OF FIGURATIVE ARTS - Learn Art in the Academic Tradition online with an amazing community: The idea is that we all work together on the same exercises and share our progress, we all do the same challenge, we all get critqued together, we learn a lot from each other.

▶ Here's how it works:
Each week, I'll upload a Painting Assignment on Tuesday and a Drawing Assignment on Friday. I'll then cover it in a Live Stream or in a YouTube Video (make sure that all your notifications are turned on, on all platforms).

To download the Assignment Plate, you need to go to the dedicated Patreon Collection, here :   / 736761  
Note that you don't have to be a Paid Member and that all Free Members can access and download the Plates (it's free and open access).

Then you just do the assignment (easy, right?) and you can post in the Discord when it's done or when you need help from the community. Use the tags to make the process smoother!

▶ The Atelier Mindset:
We're not trying to make something artistic with these assignment but train on key artistic notions that aim towards improving realism.
This method follows the Academic tradition so some of these are tough, the highest level of excellence should be your goal, don't botch your work!
Don't improvise, follow the model exactly and stick to the instructions.
Each Assignment plate has 3 difficulty levels, pick the right instruction for your level (level 1 is beginner Atelier student level, level 2 is approximately the second year of academic training and level 3 is the last year of classical training)
Take your time, you don’t have to finish to assignments in a week (I do it, you have to take your time and apply yourself!)

About me (bio) :
Website :
https://www.florentfarges.com

I am an artist living and working in France. I learned the techniques of the Atelier of the Nineteenth century and now I try to share some of my knowledge with the rest of the world, because I think that beauty still has an important role to play in artistic creation. I do mostly drawing and oil painting techniques, thoughts and explanations that can be useful to anyone, from beginners to more advanced artists.
