Impressionism - Paint this Aspen Autumn scene in oil/acrylic
- 5
Brief Introduction
Learn Impressionism techniques by creating this Aspen Autumn painting. For total beginner through advanced painters.Description
Impressionist painting with a focus on light. Bring a
luminous quality to your paintings you’ve never thought possible. Learn
how to build a painting in one sitting, “alla prima”, and how to savor
interesting brushwork. You will also learn the invaluable concepts of
drawing, value, color, and edges. Use these methods and knowledge to
start your painting off right if you're a total beginner, or to
take your painting style to the next level if you're more experienced.
You’ve never painted like
this before.
You can paint along with me
during this entire course. I even have a camera angle that shows my
palette as I'm mixing colors. You will learn crucial painting techniques
in the process of creating a beautiful painting. Or feel free to just
sit back and enjoy the show as I create a painting from scratch.
DOWNLOADABLE MATERIALS: I provide the reference photo I'm using for the painting, and an image of my finished painting for you to analyze. Also a materials
list: you're free to use your own style of materials of course, but I'll
list every single thing I use. I also provide a PDF flipbook showing
each stage of the painting, so you can flip through quickly and see how
the painting builds with each stage. (Look under the Downloadable Materials tab for each lecture, it's an icon of a little arrow pointing down)
This
course is partial toward using oil paint, and I highly recommend it,
however you can use acrylics also. Many of the concepts I discuss in
this course apply to all mediums of art.
So take this course if you're ready to improve your painting with
methods you've probably never seen before, and will have you thinking
about painting in a new way. For all levels of painters.
