Smaller painting demonstrations =

More practice + more learning - PRESSURE!

We will create 16 thumbnail sketches/paintings in this course. The first 10 will be easy to intermediate level, and the last 6 will be more difficult, working from famous masters' paintings throughout history.


Two benefits of creating thumbnails are:


  • First, you get to practice painting compositions without worrying about perfection or skill level.
  • Second, once the course is finished, these thumbnails will serve as a reminder of what was learned by providing you with a visual aid.
