Throughout the course, you’ll learn egg tempera and the Russian method, which involves delicately layering paint to achieve delicate tones and shading. You’ll master the interplay of light to sculpt shapes, refine your color mixing skills, and develop an eye for selecting the perfect color palette. Explore texture and color experimentation to discover your unique artistic style. Alternatively, follow your teacher Basia’s brush strokes and don’t worry about the rest.
