The class also includes multiple instructional videos with unlimited access, image resources, an informational packet and the option of participating in a private, Facebook group, dedicated to providing feedback and promoting discussion on class topics.
The class covers the basics like supplies, value structure, perspective, composition and color. Students are introduced to a painting exercise developed by Charles Hawthorne, the famous 20th century American painter and instructor. Hawthorne is credited with developing a teaching approach based on the philosophy and techniques of the impressionists.
This class touches on the history of colors that are or have been available to the artist; everything from oxidized lead to ground up mummies.
Students will be introduced to a couple different color palettes (color combinations), one that is based off of the same colors utilized by painters from the 15th to the 19th century and one that is specifically designed to give the subjects in your painting a sense of depth and volume.
