"Figure drawing and painting are part of a continuous cycle of learning, for me. The figure is an ideal subject because, as human beings we are very familiar with the form and an observer can tell if it is right or wrong instantly. You cannot get away with guesswork or inaccuracy. There are an infinite number of poses and lighting, the figure can convey so many meanings. You look at a figure in front of you and get a reaction to the image, if I could convey that on canvas I would be a happy man. My hero is Singer Sargent. A constant reminder of, right colour, right shape, right place, is all you need." Peter Orrock Title: Nina Medium: Acrylic on board Size: 9 x 6 inches |  |
 | "#1... I study the figure because it's the fuel for my artist fire. I have always drawn the human form even when I was a kid. I thought that the comic book artist were gods and wanted to learn how to draw like they did. I like paintings and drawings of the figure clothed or nude more then still lifes or landscapes even today." Barrynotlarry Title: Capuchino Medium: Pastel on panel Size: 20" x 24" |
"My thoughts on Life Drawing: This is my 20 minutes to express myself....to create something of myself.... so I just shut up and draw!" Kymbo Title: Red Nude Medium: Acrylic and Charcoal on paper Size: 800 x 600 mm |  |
 | "Art is meaningless . . but equally, the holy grail of self-expression, and I'm often within that paradox because this story-telling exploits intimacy while preserving virtue, balancing humility with narcissism, and is nothing short of the alchemy between dreams and realism. Beyond this construct, the artist is unprotected from becoming part of it, the story, and so my phrase is simple but guarded: I'm just a guy who drinks coffee and likes to paint." GalleryOrlando Title: Unfinished Conversation with a Mermaid - Chapter One Medium: Oil Paint Size: 10"x12" (25.4cm x 30.5cm) (2003) |
"More than any other art genre, I believe figurative art has the unique ability to help us understand and appreciate the human condition. Beautiful, ugly, heroic or mundane, figurative art is a vivid record that is unmatched in any other way." rroberts Title: 'Gray Pants' Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: 16" x 20" |  |
