What you will learn

During this course, Sergey will introduce you to the oil painting techniques. As a student in this course, most of the time you will be working on still lives from observation, making short and long studies. The teacher will explain how to organise your palette, which colours, mediums and brushes to use, and he will you walk you through the process of creating a painting including steps like creating an underdrawing, then applying underpainting, blocking in and finally how to finish the painting. 

Previous experience is not necessary, but everyone will be taught at their level, so students who are already experienced in painting are also welcome.
