Assignment:

Your project is to create two oil paintings from a photo! Using either the photo available in the "Resources" tab (featuring an apple) or your own simple reference, create two small oil paintings: a value painting and a full-color one, using the techniques that we covered in this course.

Tools & Materials:

Brushes in a couple of different sizes
Oil paint (what you already have, or just a few tubes)
Solvent (turpentine/ mineral spirits)
Medium (linseed oil)
Pallete (wood/ glass/ paper)
Canvas (canvas board/ oil painting paper/ board with gesso)
Photo of a simple object, perhaps a fruit (optional!)

Getting Started:

Watch the "Tools & Materials" video and set up your workspace with everything you need. Then, watch each video and follow along at your own pace.

Sharing Your Artwork:

I can't wait to see what you create! Feel free to upload any of the following to the "Your Project" section.

Your tools and materials
Your works-in-progress from any phases of the project
Your final two small oil paintings: monochrome & color

If you share your art on social media, be sure to tag me with @maddie.cjo or use the hashtag #maddieoilpaintingclass so we can all see what you're working on!

Now go create your art! :)
