Oil Painting: Learn to Paint Colorful Impressionistic Flowers

The lessons will cover:

• Why taking your own photos & connecting with your subject matter is important
  
• The basic materials you'll need to get started
  
• How to mix your colors & how to create a unique stunning palette of colors
  
• Layer One: mapping out the main shapes & outline
  
• Layer Two: spotting the darkest values
  
• Layer Three: painting the mid tones
  
• Layer Four: the final details
  
• Plus your project - where you will create a painting of your own in this style
  

Whether you're brand new to painting or an established artist, this class will inspire you to connect with your art, systematize your painting practice in an inviting way, and show you special, practical tips that you can use for many paintings to come.

You don't need a lot of experience and you can even take this class with other types of paint (such as acrylic, gouache, or watercolor). You can also modify the materials and use whatever you have at home. The main objective is to have fun, get lost in the colors, and love what you're painting.

You can paint along with me using the downloadable photo in the Project tab, or bring your own photo and apply the same colors, principles & steps.
