This class is for beginners or oil painters who are ready to loosen up their brush stroke and learn to apply paint like the breeze. You will learn the basics of oil painting and to create the essence of a scene without getting muddy colours. You will learn to apply paint thick in a style like Vangogh.
Here's what you can expect to learn:
• Learn the basic rules of oil painting about what to do and not to do.
• Learn multiple approaches to the planning and execution of a painting.
• Learn colour mixing and avoid common pitfalls that even experienced painters struggle with.
• The power of proper value control and avoiding the “mid-value” crisis, where values are too similar in lightness and darkness, causing paintings to appear flat, confusing, and lacking in convincing space.
• The proper way hold a brush and skills to gain control for confident stroke attack.
• Approaches to creating dynamic compositions.
• Strategies for experimenting with colour to explore new methods for expression.
