Painting Finches!
4 hours and 10 min 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 class, we will be painting finches. Teresa will kick things off at the beginning with a live painting demonstration that first places and then blocks a finch onto a flower. The composition, color, floral arrangement, values, and edges will be discussed.
After this initial "Alla Prima" Demo, the class will continue in more depth and go over glazing techniques and textural overlay techniques. This will be covered in a second demonstration over an existing and dried first-layer finch and flower painting.
