Light and Presence

Impressionism thrives on capturing light with conviction—and this course teaches you how. You'll master the alla prima approach: building a luminous, complete painting in a single sitting. The emphasis is on brushwork, value, color relationships, and edges—the core mechanics that make a painting glow.

Paint along in real time or simply watch as the instructor works through a full demonstration, complete with a palette camera angle so you see every color mix. The PDF stage-breakdown shows the painting building layer by layer, and you get the reference photo plus a detailed materials list. Whether you're brand new or refining your style, these techniques—rooted in light and execution—apply across oil and acrylic alike.

About this course

Impressionist painting with a focus on light. Bring a luminous quality to your paintings you’ve never thought possible. Learn how to build a painting in one sitting, “alla prima”, and how to savor interesting brushwork. You will also learn the invaluable concepts of drawing, value, color, and edges. Use these methods and knowledge to start your painting off right if you're a total beginner, or to take your painting style to the next level if you're more experienced. You’ve never painted like this before.

You can paint along with me during this entire course. I even have a camera angle that shows my palette as I'm mixing colors. You will learn crucial painting techniques in the process of creating a beautiful painting. Or feel free to just sit back and enjoy the show as I create a painting from scratch.

The reference photo I'm using is provided, as well as a materials list. You're free to use your own style of materials of course, but I'll list every single thing I use. I also provide a PDF flipbook showing each stage of the painting, so you can flip through quickly and see how the painting builds with each stage.

This course is partial toward using oil paint, and I highly recommend it, however you can use acrylics also. Many of the concepts I discuss in this course apply to all mediums of art.

So take this course if you're ready to improve your painting with methods you've probably never seen before, and will have you thinking about painting in a new way. For all levels of painters.
