Intro to Impressionist Oil Painting - Part 3 - Figurative

via Skillshare

Overview

Paint your own figurative subject in a loose, painterly, impressionist style! You can use a live model (a friend, family member, or loved one who wouldn't mind sitting still for a while), photographs (a great free resource for photos is pixabay.com), or go to the CroquisCafe youtube channel (like I did for this course).

You only need a few colors, brushes, and an open mind! Impressionist painting is a great way to relax and learn to let go of control. 

I can't wait to see your projects! If you have any questions, please reach out to me :)
