: How to structure a painting – blocking in and composition

: Basic form, tone and colour theory and how to use these to interpret objective reality and express your unique artistic “voice”.
MATERIALS:
: Oil or acrylic paints – Ultramarine Blue, Phthalo Blue, Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium or Vermillion red, Yellow Ochre, Lemon Yellow, Titanium White, Burnt or raw umber. I prefer water mixable oil paints.
