		In fl-figure vase painting, figural and ornamental motifs were applied with a slip that turned fl during firing, while the background was left the color of the clay.

		Painted vases were often made in specific shapes for specific daily uses—storing and transporting wine and foodstuffs (amphora), drawing water (hydria), drinking wine or water (kantharos or kylix), and so on—and for special, often ritual occasions, such as pouring libations (lekythos) or carrying water for the bridal bath (loutrophoros).

	Figure Painting in Oil by Dover Publications
		I am an amateur in painting and this book is very helpful in determining which colors to use for flesh tones and the anatomy illustrated is a excellent resource for the basic design of the figure.
		With only 155+ pages, the author thoroughly covered materials (paints, brushes, knives, canvases, mediums), techniques (stretching canvases, brushworks), basic figure proportions (from head to toe), and full figure painting; working in fl and white paints; then moved on to colors.
		There are quite a few books on drawing the figure, but unless you find an OOP Walter Foster guide to painting the nude, or want to fork over $ 100 for the Richard Schmid classic, there are very few on painting the figure.

	Denmark.dk: Official website - Denmark - National Romanticism to Realism and Naturalism (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In painting, the Golden Age tradition was maintained in the bourgeois classicism of the Eckersberg school, which mingled the French inheritance from J.-L. David with impulses from German Biedermeier and a powerful admixture of Danish National Romanticism.
		In boldly conceived, dramatic figure compositions, with roots in the Italian, Spanish and Northern European Baroque realisms of the 17th century, he sought to recreate a monumental and powerful historical painting; a typical example is Samson in the Philistine Treadmill (1863, Statens Museum for Kunst).
		This applied in particular to the Skagen painters, who combined realistic figure painting and depictions of the life of the ordinary people with a naturalistic open-air study of light, colour and atmosphere.

	Philip Pearlstein
		Painting the studio nude, Pearlstein declared allegiances very different from those common in the New York art world of the late fifties.
		In neither hedonism nor irony nor self expression, he wanted to go back and start from Gustave Courbet, painting the naked body in a spirit of detached, colloquial reportage, as though all the proscriptions against figure painting had lost their magic.
		For a while he stayed with landscape, painting it in Italy the sun inflamed bricks of Roman ruins, the cliffs at Positano running like wax in a controlled chaos of juicy brush marks paying the necessary homages to de Kooning and, further back, to Soutine's landscapes at Ceret.

	David Hockney
		Since figure-painting seemed 'anti-modern' Hockney began by including words in his paintings as a way of humanizing them, but these were soon joined by figures painted in a deliberately rough and rudimentary style which owed a great deal to Jean Dubuffet.
		There were other important changes in his work as well: he started using acrylics rather than oil paint and he made increasing use of photography for purposes of documentation.
		His easel paintings made during the 1980s show the influence of Matisse and Picasso.
