This is an extremely comprehensive online painting class with a focus on the construction of an oil painting and the process of layering paint, rather than actual brushwork and design. To truly master oil painting, it’s important to have a strong foundation and to thoroughly understand your materials and their proper usage. You have to know how to build a sound substructure or base, and then apply the paints in such a way as to ensure decades of life for the painting.
