Welcome!

In this class, we’ll go through the steps & layers of creating a vibrant nature painting with oil paints. Painting in a loose, impressionistic style is a fantastic way to make your paintings come to life. This class will show you how to navigate color mixing and layering so that you have a simple system to follow every time you sit down to paint. You’ll leave this class with a stunning, dimensional flower painting.

The lessons will cover:

Why taking your own photos & connecting with your subject matter is important
The basic materials you’ll need to get started
How to mix your colors & how to create a unique stunning palette of colors
Layer One: mapping out the main shapes & outline
Layer Two: spotting the darkest values
Layer Three: painting the mid tones
Layer Four: the final details
Plus your project - where you will create a painting of your own in this style

Whether you’re brand new to painting or an established artist, this class will inspire you to connect with your art, systematize your painting practice in an inviting way, and show you special, practical tips that you can use for many paintings to come.

You don’t need a lot of experience and you can even take this class with other types of paint (such as acrylic, gouache, or watercolor). You can also modify the materials and use whatever you have at home. The main objective is to have fun, get lost in the colors, and love what you’re painting.

You can paint along with me using the downloadable photo in the Project tab, or bring your own photo and apply the same colors, principles & steps.

Make sure to follow along and join me in this class. I can’t wait to see the paintings you create. See you soon!
