CHALLENGES
The challenges of painting the figure are many and varied. To meet them, the artist shouldn’t feel that massive anatomy study and muscle memorization is required. For one thing, painters would do well to be wary of any time-consuming activities that keep them from painting. I’m not sure why, but oil painters seem to be particularly susceptible to getting sidetracked by preliminary activities. Things like taking anatomy classes, arranging color charts, doing complicated value studies, reading how-to books (oh wait…skip that last one)—all of these tempt the artist away from the easel and keep him or her from directly meeting the challenges.
In this section, I’ll show you some of the specific difficulties figure painters encounter.
