Think of a blank piece of paper. It’s like gazing at a fresh snowstorm. This is the beginning of our painting course. Get the facts about our painting lessons.
Imagine sitting in a cozy studio and being surrounded by colours that would make any rainbow blush. Enter the instructor. He’s a man born with paintbrush in hand. They do more than just instruct.
Let’s now talk about what makes this course so effective. Let’s start by getting your hands literally dirty. The materials you use are varied, from charcoal to watercolor. You might use graphite to create subtle shadows or acrylic paints to give depth to your art.
However, technique alone is not sufficient. Finding your artistic voice is also crucial. Ever tried to sketch on paper without looking? Sounds crazy, doesn’t it? It is one of the mental exercises that let creativity flow like a river uncontrollably.
You may remember finger painting as your favorite art class. This course brings that joy back with the use of sophisticated tools. You will learn about how combining colors and brushes can bring out different feelings.
It is not appropriate to talk about criticisms or feelings. Be patient, before your skin starts to swell up at the mere thought of someone looking over your work. This is not a critique, but a conversation over coffee. Imagine showing off your latest work in front of an audience that nods thoughtfully while giving insightful comments.
Bob Ross is an artist that you might have heard of. Of course, you must have heard of him! Along with being famous for his “happy, little trees”, he serves as a great reminder that both art and simplicity can be profoundly meaningful. This course adds layers upon layers to the sophisticated techniques but still manages a bit of Bob Ross magic.
What tales we can tell! We all remember the time a student accidently smeared their ink on completing artwork. This resulted into amazingly beautiful abstract art that everyone was amazed by. Somebody else might have doodled on a perspective chart during a particularly boring lesson and realized later that their style was surrealistic.
You will gain a mastery of perspective, both literal as well as figurative. Understanding how objects interact with light, or how vanishing marks add depth, is more important than academic jargon.
What about art supplies? Who doesn’t love to purchase new ones? It’s like discovering palette knives which are great for creating texture in landscapes or kneaded erasers that shape like putty. Things you didn’t even know existed.
You can also start over (pun intended). There’s room at this table – or easel – for everyone, regardless of whether you were a Picasso in high-school or not.
Many people discover what they are meant to do later in their lives, when least expected. During group work or during assignments, it is possible to discover latent skills by experimenting.
If you want to get started, pull out your old notebook or buy a fresh one. They are filled with blank pages and waiting for YOU to fill them. In our drawing-painting course, you will discover that there is more to this creative journey than just lines or colors.
