Painting I: Learn a traditional approach to oil painting, the medium of choice for masters such as Van Gogh and Monet. After a thorough orientation to the painter's materials (paint, canvas, brushes, and solvents), you will study a systematic and time-honored approach to oil painting that enables you to capture proportion, perspective, and lighting in the world around you. Each lesson guides you systematically through a disciplined approach to creating art. You'll learn how to build a foundation with preparatory sketches and underpainting, how to mix your paints correctly, and gain control over value through monochromatic painting and color studies.
