Titian (1488 – 1576) said that a painting requires at least 40 layers. In this demonstration, Steve will show you how to achieve the affect that painters from the Renaissance to the Dutch Golden age were striving for in the most efficient way possible (far less than 40 layers). This demonstration will summarize a few hundred years of oil painting knowledge in about 90 minutes. The importance of drawing, panel preparation, under painting, dead layer, opaque and transparent pigments, mediums and most importantly, brushwork, will be discussed.
Space is limited and registration is required.
