Demo Description

This oil painting demonstration will focus on capturing the essence of a landscape with bold brushstrokes and convincingly depicting light.

At the core of my tuition is the idea of painting with freshness, confidence and spontaneity. I cover various topics such as composition / tones / subjects choices / brushwork / colour mixing. I’ll explain how focus on the essence of the subject, see things in abstract way, depict light with paint, choose a successful composition, and achieve dynamic and lively brushstrokes. I’ll explain when to stop, what to put in, what to leave out, and have a clearer plan in your head that you can rely on every time so you can really build your confidence as an artist. 

Demo Materials List

Oil Paints:

I use the water soluble oils Artisan range from Winsor & Newton. I use water instead turpentine for the early stages of washes and blocking in. Then I use pure paint without any medium, although there is a range of mediums available from Artisan for those who prefer their paints to flow more. 

The technique I use is exactly the same as with traditional oils so this demo is suitable for people interested in traditional oils too.

Colours: 

Titanium White 

Naples Yellow

Burnt Sienna

Burnt Umber

Raw Sienna

Yellow Ochre

Cadmium Yellow

Lemon Yellow

Cadmium Red

Permanent Rose

French Ultramarine

Cobalt Blue

Cerulean Blue

Phthalo Green

Paint brushes: 

I will use a selection of rounded edge filbert synthetic brushes from Rosemary & Co brushes sizes 0-6. I have a few small riggers and pointed rounds too from that range for details. 

Surface: 

MDF board prepared with three coats of Acrylic gesso
