Embark on a Creative Journey with T Claudiu!

Welcome to an immersive painting experience where you'll learn to capture the essence of a scene with loose, expressive brushstrokes and rich, impressionistic color. In this course, we'll be focusing on creating a beautiful tree in the sun, framed against a serene backdrop that includes the sky, a plain grass field, and elements in the background.

What You'll Learn:

• The Fundamentals of Impressionist Painting: Discover how to use color, light, and brushwork to convey atmosphere and mood in your paintings.
• Experimentation with Texture: Experiment with different tools like brushes and palette knives to create varied textures that give your painting a unique, painterly feel.
• Developing Your Style: Explore how to depict the organic forms of branches, leaves, and foliage with emphasis on bold brushstrokes.
• Step-by-Step Guidance: Follow along in real time as T Claudiu breaks down each step of the painting process, ensuring no detail is overlooked.

Materials Needed for Success:

✅ A palette knife and a 3/4 inch brush to handle different textures. ✅ A solvent such as turpentine to thin your paint and extend its application time. ✅ The reference photo provided (highly recommended to print it out).

Tips from the Instructor:

• If you're using acrylics and don't have burnt sienna, mix your oil burnt sienna with a generous amount of solvent for a fast-drying underpainting.
• Remember, the underpainting doesn't need to be opaque; a thinner coat works well in impressionistic painting for layering and developing tones.
