Imagine creating a painting that explodes with dazzling light. One that bursts with action and motion. One that pulses with drama. 

Make your imagination a reality with help from Nancy Boren, an award-winning painter who will show you everything it takes to create a beautifully lit, dramatic figure painting. When you think about it, painting a figure means you are simply painting light and shadows that form your subject. But as you know, this is not as simple as it sounds.

You’ve probably noticed that some successful paintings show subtle detail on all sides of a face or figure. Other paintings depict bold, contrasting lights and shadows. Still others achieve wonderful, glowing luminosity on backlit subjects. How you light your subject makes all the difference. 

How do you choose the right lighting effect to make your figure painting, or any painting, come alive to shine, sparkle, or glow? It’s all about staging and dressing your subject and then lighting it for the look you want to communicate.

In this video, Nancy Boren quickly demonstrates exactly how to get distinctive lighting effects to enhance the story you want to tell. Effects that will impress your acquaintances and thrill your buyers.

Every artist should have a good working knowledge of these lighting styles. Nancy will demonstrate all three in clear, easy-to-follow steps. 

Drama usually starts with lighting that has strong light and strong shadows. Discover how Nancy combines dramatic lighting with dramatic flair. This combination of powerful effects will transform your paintings on day one when you follow Nancy’s lead.

She will help you understand how to master values and color temperature to create luminosity. 

Nancy shows you the importance of writing down your goals for color, action, and story. And then how to check them regularly throughout the painting process to make you stay on track.

Discover how Nancy combines dramatic lighting with energetic brushstrokes to set figures in motion with flair like you’ve never seen in a single painting...

You’ll experience a demonstration of Nancy painting a beautiful backlit action pose of a delightful figure in motion titled Cimarron Solstice. Everything you would want to see in a masterful painting packed with light, motion, and drama.

Nancy’s disciplined but loose painting style lends itself to portraying a feeling of motion when a subject calls for it. You will see how lighting, color, brushstrokes, and composition can all converge to add movement to your paintings. If your paintings have a static feel, Nancy’s tips will set your art in full motion.

You won’t believe how, with just a few strokes of your brush, you can make a rigid figure become alive. Nancy’s subjects sometimes appear to literally fly through the air.

Deciding what subject matter really flips your switch and ignites your curiosity is super important to your joy of painting. The excitement of staging and lighting your subject is multiplied when your subject is something you love. Nancy’s love for figurative work comes through loud and clear.

Nancy challenges both you and herself to consider what’s most important when plunging into a painting: knowing yourself … what you like, what you are passionate about, what moves you, what inspires you.

In sharing her own experience, Nancy describes a wide array of colorful visual experiences that give her joy and shape her art. She will inspire you to do the same. Like things as diverse as these that have inspired her: 

 - West Texas sunsets

 - Japanese kimono dolls 

 - Matisse’s fabric collection

It took years in some cases for these affections to come forward and become part of her art.

You’ve just got to hear Nancy’s vivid stories. And she’ll show you how to bring your favorite things to light in your own paintings. Nancy believes you have your own unique driving forces inside that make you and your art special. She can show you how to identify your passions and start enjoying painting more than ever — how to believe in your ideas and move forward with confidence.

You’ll find out how valuable props are to storytelling. Nancy’s love of celebration items like banners, balloons, confetti, piñatas, flags, twinkle lights, paper lanterns, and decorative fabrics will inspire you to think about the kinds of fun things you can add to enliven your paintings.

Nancy is a second-generation painter, following her famous artist father, James Boren. From an early age Nancy was immersed in the world of art making and oil painting. Nancy’s first painting, a watercolor, was done at age 12 while she sat next to her father as he painted at the Grand Canyon. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Abilene Christian University in Texas, and she cites the influence of notable traditional painters such as Sargent, Sorolla, and Fechin.

Her paintings have received major awards and recognition throughout the U.S. She is a Signature Member of the American Impressionist Society (Best of Show 2018), Signature Member of the Oil Painters of America (Bronze Medal 2016), Signature Member of the Outdoor Painters Society, Master Signature Member of American Women Artists (Gold Medal 2015, 2014), and a member of the Portrait Society of America.
