About the Course

Digital painting is not about a program or a brush. It's about the ability to see the shape, feel the tone and work with a brush stroke so that the work breathes.

In one week, you will go from theory to a finished study. First, let's look at the basics: composition and layout, tone and spots, strokes and touches, heat cooling, and examples of different techniques. Then we go straight to the canvas: we draw a pear, model the volume with a brush stroke and monitor the color temperature.

What You Will Learn

1. Composition and layout: the ability to correctly position an object on a canvas.
2. Tone and spots: understanding tonal relationships as the basis of painting.
3. Smear and touch: lively, confident smear without slickness.
4. Heat-coolness: the ability to monitor the color temperature at work.
5. Shape modeling: how to convey the volume of a simple object with a brush stroke.
6. Finished sketch: a finished work that is not ashamed to show.
