This^class will demonstrate a technique that will encourage the artist to pursue three-hour figure gesture paintings in 3D. These 3D gesture paintings allow the artist to experiment and avoid being consumed with the detail work ordinarily associated with the medium^of 3D. While a photograph is used for the purposes of this class, all^techniques are perfectly applicable to working in front of a live model.
Techniques will be demonstrated for the three phases of creating a quick study; modeling, texturing and lighting. Each of the phases will be built from the ground up, and the purpose of each component will be described.^This technique can easily serve as a foundational "underpaint" for a more polished, realized work. When this underpaint^is solid, finished work is solely a matter^of adding additional layers and filling in details.
