Photo To Painting A Landscape In Oil - Contemplation

Welcome to this class in which I'll be painting a sunset scene based on a photograph. I'll be doing this complete exercise in a step by step manner and explain my thinking all along the way.

My name is Mandar, a fine artist and a sculptor. I'll be leading you through this course. 

First I'll go through the 12 considerations that I make when I decide what to paint and compose the picture. Then come the steps in which I do a value sketch, premix the colors and then go through the actual proces of painting.

If you love painting, you'll love this journey from a photo to painting and learn a few things along the way. I've used oil colors for this painting but you can use gouache, acrylics or casein to paint in the manner I've shown.

So, I invite you to join me on this journey! See you inside the class!

Thanks,

Mandar
