June 28 & July 12 feedback meetings via Skype, 9:00 am-11:00 am
This workshop series is for highly motivated students seeking to study, learn, and paint realistically in oil or acrylic. Whether a complete beginner or just unsure about some of the fundamentals of painting, this course will equip you with the tools necessary for strong painting foundations. Viktoria will walk you through the most important elements of the traditional painting process (including painting materials, canvas preparation, composition, sketching, color mixing, value, as well as capturing light and shadow to create volume and form). You will be guided via pre-recorded classes, assignments, and Skype meetings. A supply list will be provided to you prior to the start of class. Please, be prepared to put the time and practice in as the course is thorough and comprehensive. Feedback meetings will last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours on June 28th and July 12th. Pre-recorded video lessons will be released beginning after the orientation meeting. Students should expect to put the following number of hours in, at minimum, for each pre-recorded video lesson and assignment in order to more fully understand the lesson material, medium, and technique.
