Glazing and other Painting Techniques (Skillshare)

Architecture & Design

In this class you’ll learn the essential oil painting techniques: glazing, scumbling and impasto. Glazing is an amazing technique where you apply a transparent or semi-transparent layer of paint over another thoroughly dry layer of paint. It's wonderful for creating luminous colors, as well as water and lighting effects. I’ll show you how to mix your paint to prepare a glaze as well as practical applications for applying glazes to get luminous results that you couldn't otherwise achieve by using paint opaquely.

Sketching is a critical part of the design process. But many people skip sketching because they are intimidated by it or they think it will be faster not to do it. The truth is that you design better and faster when you sketch. Even if you are uncomfortable sketching you should still do it to improve your designs.

Improve your Drawing Accuracy! (Skillshare)

I've been struggling with this problem from the beginning. Even with traditional media, and especially with digital. For years I thought artists who could perfectly guide their hand where their brain intended must have had some kind of super power. Or they were using a lazy mouse. But there's no lazy mouse in traditional drawing!
