I’m super excited about this new course because it's an easy-to-follow single project course. that you can complete in just a few 1 hr painting sessions.
Each one will follow the same approach:
A single painting from start to finish.
A limited colour palette.
A handful of brushes.
A small 8 x 10 canvas.
A simple subject.
Taught over 3 x 45-minute lessons.
In this first course, I’ve taken all the principles from a traditional still life composition but kept it simple and contemporary. You’ll learn classical principles that are the building blocks of all great old master paintings.
We’ll cover the preparation of your surface & drawing out, mixing colour strings and blocking-in, and how to create the illusion of a three-dimensional shape by observing the cast and form shadows. We’ll understand the importance of harmonious colour and adding texture to the surface to control the viewer’s gaze.
It’s been kept to be really really simple, like when we paint the pears, we only use two colours for most of it, and then adding a few extra little magic bits of glazing just to give you a little zing of the end.
So find a comfy seat, a strong cup of coffee or a pot of tea, and see what can be achieved in a 1-hour painting slot, thoroughly engage in the process.
