About
Learn to paint with confidence as you master the core of oil painting: capturing light and shadow with clear values, realistic form, and expressive color. This course is built for beginning to intermediate painters who want a proven workflow from first sketch to finished work. You’ll develop a reliable vision by learning value mapping, edge control, and how to build a painting in layers that preserve luminosity. Through guided practice, critiques, and step-by-step demonstrations, you’ll produce a cohesive oil study that feels dimensional, atmospheric, and true to your chosen reference. By the end, you’ll know how to plan your composition around light, mix the right tones, and finish with stronger highlights and richer depth.
