You've got the basics of oil painting down, now it's time to level up your skills! This course will get you practicing this medium by showing you how to paint realistic textures and fabrics. 
I'll show you how to paint four different textures and in the process you'll learn:
<ul>
<li>How to set up a dynamic still life with fabric</li>
<li>How to choose the right brush to achieve the look you want</li>
<li>How to use certain brushstrokes to do the hard work for you</li>
<li>How to imitate light and contrast to achieve realistic texture</li>
</ul>
Because oil paints can be expensive, you may feel pressured to make a perfect painting every time you pick up your brush. But the only way to improve is through practice, so this class encourages you to relax and treat your paintings as informal sketches. 
This is a companion class to my original <a href="https://skl.sh/4cC9ScM" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Fearless Oil Painting class</a>, which I recommend you watch first if you have never used oils before and are looking for material recommendations and other beginner info. In this class, Fearless Oil Painting II, we’re cutting right to the chase to get you practicing.
To complete the project for this course, you'll need these materials: 
<ul>
<li>Oil paints (primary colors at least)</li>
<li>Variety of brushes</li>
<li>Canvas paper (or other substrates to paint on)</li>
</ul>
You can choose to set up your own still life, or download the photo references I demonstrate with (you'll find those in the Resources section).
By the end of this class, you’ll be full of useful and practical knowledge to continue your oil painting journey. So grab a brush and come paint with me!
