Paint technique, Cloud Study I - Live Course

Join along with Robert as he creates cloud textures with oil painting using the indirect method. Because Robert uses and instructs using the indirect method students will need to do the preliminary simple drawing, tonal painting, and mixing color prior to class. You can do this by watching the videos in the class curriculum and paint along with Robert.

On the day of the class, we will work on the overpainting layer blocking in the colors and then with our brushwork create the textures in the clouds.

This is a live in-person class using Zoom Meeting Rooms. Robert will be working from his personal studio where he has several cameras set up to help him give you the best learning experience from the comfort of your own studio. You will be able to draw along with Robert during the class. Since it is an interactive class, you will be able to ask Robert questions at any time.
