Okay artist, it’s time to show me what you got with these 3 projects. Feel free to do 1, 2, or all 3 of them. Obviously, I encourage you to do all of them :)
Take 2 colors (preferably a warm and a cool) and blend them together just like we did in the “Blending” video. Use any brush and any method for blending to get the best seamless blend as possible.
Do a master study like we did in our “Thumbnails - Concept Development and Practicing” video. Doing a thumbnail study is a great way to learn how the masters created their art and can improve your own art skills.
Pick a painting you love and you think you can learn a lot from. For me learning how to paint realistic lighting really helps my art, regardless of the style. So I recommend doing realism as I find it the most rewarding study. You can do figures, still life, landscapes, etc.
Try to avoid abstract art. You might not learn much from trying to duplicate a Jackson Pollock. ;)
Create your own art piece. Show me what it is you love to create and why you took this class. Canvas size is your choice. 500px+

Glazing and other Painting Techniques (Skillshare)

In this class you’ll learn the essential oil painting techniques: glazing, scumbling and impasto. Glazing is an amazing technique where you apply a transparent or semi-transparent layer of paint over another thoroughly dry layer of paint. It's wonderful for creating luminous colors, as well as water and lighting effects. I’ll show you how to mix your paint to prepare a glaze as well as practical applications for applying glazes to get luminous results that you couldn't otherwise achieve by using paint opaquely.
