Painting: Art of Self-Expression Basics

Description

Painting is introduced through its basic materials, colour theory and brush techniques. The first lessons explain what to buy and how to use it, then show how colours relate and how different brush strokes behave on the canvas. You then plan a simple composition and look at a range of painting styles.

The later lessons focus on developing your own way of expressing ideas in paint, and the final lesson guides you through completing a first painting from start to finish. Several lessons include practice exercises. The aim is to give you enough grounding to keep painting on your own.

Who it is for: adult beginners who want to start painting and are unsure which materials and methods to begin with.
