There are many steps required to learn the fine art of realism. Starting from choosing the proper surface to canvas preparation to the final steps of varnishing. Beginning artists will start to learn some tips and tricks to create a realistic, finished painting. In this class we will break down some of the basic steps of how to paint a variety of surfaces like glass, metal, fabric, fur, hair, and skin tones. We will also focus on color mixtures, preparing our canvas, and setting up still lifes while keeping design and story in mind. Drawing skills are important but not required. A camera will be used during at least one class. Water media welcome. This is a great continuation class from Beginning Oil Painting with a Focus on Realism.
