Description

This course

In this course we paint and draw together to create an interesting painting of a horse and rider. We will be using Impressionism as our technique, with mixed-media consisting of a modest variety of acrylic paint colors and some artist's color chalks. Afterward, I will also show you how I matte and package my paintings for sale.   

Teaching style

Unscripted and hands-on, my style of teaching is a "real world" classroom format where I take you through the whole artistic process:  sketching, painting, and even making mistakes, while literally narrating my thoughts as we paint.   

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone interested in learning a new artistic technique. In this class, it's Impressionism.

Hello,

I am a U.S. veteran (USN) and an IT professional holding a number of certifications in the industry, along with being a fine artist.

Most of my courses are FREE to help people of all ages, all veterans, and of all backgrounds, to get a good start in life or to help with a career change. My courses are low-budget, but I do try to fill them with lots of useful information delivered in a plain-speaking way so that everyone can understand the concepts and practices. Also, I frequently update my courses and adding content to make them better. I hope that you enjoy these courses, and if you have any suggestions for improvements or things you want to learn, feel free to let me know.
