Master Course in Oil Painting

Use the grid method to sketch oil paintings accurately by overlaying grid lines on the reference and paper, dividing into five by five for proportion and speed.

Learn to create a color gradient in oil painting by building a dark green from Prussian blue, burnt sienna, and sap green, then progressively lighten it with yellow and white.

See how oil paint reacts with solvent and linseed oil as medium, mixing with a low order thinner or turpentine to create a watery consistency, then linseed oil increases fluidity.

Master the painting technique by building shade, blending layers, and adding highlights on a circle. Learn to depict light from the top with a darker back and brighter front.

Underpainting builds a very thin foundation layer on a plain canvas by thinning paint with solvent, using white and burnt sienna to vary value, and never use linseed oil.

Explore the fat over lean technique in oil painting, applying increasingly oil-rich layers to prevent cracking and ensure proper drying of previous layers.

Begin the underpainting by mixing benzina and titanium white with a thin solvent, applying from the top corner to differentiate forms and light and dark areas, creating depth.

Continue underpainting of the plum with burnt sienna and white, build seed and flesh tones, add a darker shade for the seed, and allow at least one day to dry.

Demonstrates mixing oil paints and applying the first layer to a plum, using titanium white, persian blue, scarlet lake, crimson lake, and linseed oil with careful blending.

Darken the plum's underside and deepen the background with ivory black to create contrast. Blend white with blue for a lighter background, and smooth the boundary to keep realism.

Paint the first layer of the sliced plum by starting at the outer skin and blending crimson lake, Persian blue, and white to create brighter edges and white patches, blend.

Complete the background's first layer by mixing crimson, Persian blue, green, and white for a brighter blue, then blend smoothly as the video speed increases.

Master the final layer of painting a plum by applying on a dry base, building darker blue and scarlet lake with crimson, creating white patches and blending into skin.

Master the layers of a sliced plum in oil painting, applying darker and lighter shades with blending to define gray areas and white patches, then flesh the fruit with highlights.
