In week seven, Steve Huston begins two long-form figure paintings, one with Amanda and one with Rajiv. He establishes the groundwork by toning the canvas, blocking in the figure, and organizing the major divisions of light and shadow. The emphasis is on proportion, gesture, and silhouette, creating a strong design statement that will support the paintings in later sessions.
