Description

In this lesson I explain how to plan your painting before actual start (check-list included!), how to create contrasts - the most vital for good painting category. We will talk about all aspects of painting: the tone, the colour, the mistakes that you should not make (and how to fix the mistakes you've made), consider the principles of creating interesting washes, discuss how to make the texture and what exactly forms the wow-effect of the painting.

I try to use a limited range and a minimum of materials, so you don't need a mountains of paint and thousands of brushes to draw this painting.

◽️Paints: Sepia, Cadmium orange (PO20 pigment), Raw Umber, Ultramarine, Cobalt Blue, Indigo, Royal Blue

◽️Brushes: large soft squirrel/imitation, round or oval goat brush, small synthetic brush with a sharp tip

◽️Paper: for this subject paper is not essential, cellulose paper is also suitable, but I recommend 100% cotton, fin texture, density of 300 gr. (I have Saunders Waterford)

◽️Masking tape, can for water, paper towels, pencil and eraser
