Subtractive Painting
At the foundation of any successful painting is an understanding of tone and value. In this class we will begin by covering the canvas with a thin layer of paint. Then, by wiping away (“subtracting the paint”), we will learn how to create a full range of values within the composition. Additional oil painting techniques such as glazing and scumbling will also be covered.
