Fundamentals of Oil Painting/Les bases de la peinture a l'huile Beginner to Advanced - Taught in English or French

"After graduating from the New York Academy of Art, I have been teaching and painting for a living.
I have specialized in portraits, still life, landscapes, nudes, completing commissions for clients across America as well as in Europe and the U.A.E. And having animals throughout my life, one of my latest artistic pursuits I have picked up is painting pets."

"You learn to paint by painting" The course addresses underpainting techniques, value and color, light, shade and shadow, tonal organization, etc. In addition, instruction will be given in palette organization, mixing colors, choosing the right brushes. Through a series of projects, students will become familiar with creating an underpainting. They will begin to learn how setting up the painting in this way allows the artist to freely adjust the drawing and composition, whilst rapidly establishing tonality, form and temperature in the initial stages. The student willthen begin to introduce color though a range of glazes and direct painting techniques, witnessing how the underpainting assists the process and energizes the final painting.
