Feature Lesson

Dune Impressions

Impress yourself with your expressive impressionism. Follow me one brushstroke at a time as I take you through the process of creating a painterly impressionistic sunset dunes scene in oils. Learn how to use digital tools to create a painter's sketch from the original photo, making it much easier to paint from. Learn to create large movements of light, convincing depth, soft edged brushwork and sparkling impasto highlights. Good design, colour mixing, passionate brushwork and a variety of fun techniques are all demonstrated in the video. Enjoy! Acrylics are fine for this lesson too.
