4 · Direct Oil Painting: Male Figure — Alla Prima Momentum

One session, wet-into-wet. Steve Huston blocks the silhouette, sets a clear value map, then refines edges and temperatures while the paint is still fresh. The takeaway: early, confident decisions keep the surface lively and the form convincing—an approach explored in depth in the Complete Figure Painting Course.
