First class with Scott Nickerson - figure painting in oils. This is my first work painted in class with Scott at the Guild. I admired Scott's work and wanted to learn about his technique that includes the extensive use of painting medium and glazing. I remember this to be a work that was painted in 3 classes, exclusively with a live model. Scott's work is done in a classic style that was new to me - no brush strokes showing? Glazing like watercolor? Using color to bring forth the shape of an object? A 'new' pallet? Transparent colors? Wow - a lot of new things to absorb. I really like the way I paint, using a limited set of primaries for my pallet and showing loose brush strokes. As I worked with Scott I wondered how these new techniques would combine with what I liked about my existing style. I am not certain that, even now, this has settle down.
