Description

Description

This is a paint along course also covering tips and tricks on how to create a loose and vibrant painting in the modern impressionist style.

Trees are a great subject to paint because they give you so much freedom to experiment and explore while building your own style. The size of your brush matters and we’ll be using a few in painting this subject to get that painterly feel everywhere we look.

The whole course is in real time so you will be able to see each and every brushstroke while I’ll take you step-by-step through the whole painting process.

You will learn the importance of edges, how to prepare for a painting and how to manipulate light to give the painting maximum impact.

As a beginner:

You will learn 6 important tips that most don’t get right when they start out. You will learn the importance of these tips and will see their benefits immediately. Getting these right will help you paint with a lot more confidence.

As an intermediate or advanced student:

It will be a fun project, a great painting where I’m sure you will pick up a few ideas along the way. And if you haven’t experimented with modern impressionism, some trees alongside a road with the sun showing through the branches is a perfect starting point with a lot of flexibility throughout the process, leaving you to create textures in however way you see fit.

Hope you enjoy the course and don’t forget to post a photo of your work :). I am really excited to see what your finished painting will look like.

Also don’t forget to follow me for more courses in the future.

Cheers!

Who Should Attend!

All skill levels including beginners. I will explain everything I do along the way and, if you keep in mind the beginner tips and techniques mentioned in the course, you will be able to follow along and get a great result in the end;
Oil painters. The painting is done in oils and many of the techniques, while can be done in other mediums too, are primarily oil painting techniques;
Acrylic Painters. I have painted in acrylics for years and I can safely say that you can get a similar result using this medium. It would be more difficult to blend new layers into the underlayers but you can still get similar effects by reapplying both layer colors in small areas and blending them on the spot. Both oil and acrylics have the colors mentioned in the course;
Gouache, watercolor and Tempera Painters are welcome to try, but these mediums are so different, it would be quite difficult to follow along with the course. Still, I would love to see the result and I’m really curious as to how the painting will look in different types of mediums;
