Description
The Bob K Farmhouse Project is a course designed to teach the techniques used to complete this commission. Practices learned over the years by the artist through commissions, gallery pieces, and reproductions of masterpieces. These old and new techniques will bring your confidence level to new heights and show in your finished works. You will do more than watch an artist paint; you will go through the hows and whys and be able to follow each section from start to completion. The tools are inexpensive or easy to make, and the results will take your art to a new level. After 16+ hours of the up-close video, mostly side by side with the original image or instructor-led classes on specific techniques, you will walk away with a new way of looking at art classes online.
The demonstration portions are not time lapses but are organized by sittings and subject. The narration is left out so you can choose your background sounds and be able to follow along or use them for review. The lectures include pdf files to follow and narration videos going into a little more depth. The way to get the most out of this course is by using patience to learn the tools and techniques to build the confidence to handle any obstacle.
You can choose what part you want at what phase you like and see it painted up close and next to the original. They will be a timeless resource if you need to refresh on painting trees, barns, or maybe a fence.
At the end of the course, you can use these techniques to help you work through and improve your landscape paintings.
