Richard is a talented full time artist, who loves painting and teaching.
Paint this sumptuous impressionistic beach scene with ease.
We have a beautiful evening here at the end of summer. I’m going to show you how I approach this, one of my favourite scenes.
I’ll be teaching you about designing with large organic shapes, how to use premixed greys to paint faster, using colour variety within those big masses, how I use warm and cool colour contrasts and how to make the colour more vibrant than nature, how to use a variety of brushwork to create really rich textural paintings, which includes using a palette knife and also under-mixing your paint, as opposed to overmixing it.
I’ll also teach you about creating dynamism in your painting using soft edges versus hard edges, and we’ll learn about atmospheric perspective, big light effects and lots more. Follow along step by step using the resource photos or use the techniques to create something more your own.
