5 hours of instruction. This is a recording of a live class. In it, you will find demonstrations, class critiques, and other helpful information on materials and processes.
You may follow along with the video and email a photo of your in-progress painted rose to Art@TeresaOaxaca.com, along with the second video of your finished painted rose. Teresa will get back to you with a critique.
In this online workshop, students will watch a live demonstration by Teresa Oaxaca in which she will demonstrate how to compose and paint a butterfly onto a canvas. Students will learn about color, oil painting mediums, glazing, and texture by painting from photos and using the Sight Size Method of comparison.
A gallery of hi-resolution reference photographs of butterflies will be included as an optional reference.
Students may paint along, ask questions, and receive critiques on their artworks via live analyses.
This class will also be recorded and made available for students afterward. Students who miss live class may receive two critiques by email.
