Join Dustin Van Wechel for this intensive, online wildlife painting workshop designed to improve your technique and approach to creating dynamic wildlife paintings in oil. Participants will learn techniques for mixing color, brushwork, handling edges, creating texture and building an expressive, layered paint surface. Participants will each work from the same reference as the instructor and follow along step-by-step over the entire process to gain a fundamental understanding of the various ways in which Dustin works to produce a wildlife painting. Each of the 3 hour sessions will include a brief lecture on topics related to that session, as well as a demo of the painting process. Participants will be able to ask questions and interact with the instructor in real-time throughout all of the sessions.
