The preparation (online) has the next 3 stages.

On-site (2 days)

 

Some artists have troubles diring painting due to inefficiency of the work progress. For example, in case artist do not build design structure in the beginning stage of work, focus on a partial detail which is not significant to the work quality or/and use impromper application technique for the types of composition.

 

The things happen during painting. So, I watch the work progress and provide timely feedbacks and demos at the right moments.

 

On-site class is for 2 days.

​

• Day 1: Principles for beginning to mid stage of a work.

• Day 2: Principles for final stage of a work.

​

You will learn how to classify things to do by each stage and apply the efficient work order for your successful work result.

​

• For your completed work after class, remote Artwork Critique is included.

Completing of the both online and on-site courses you will have a finished painting. When you submit the work image through my Artwork Criques at my website, you will get my final critique on your work.
