Learn to Paint Aged Leather (& Other Complex Materials) Through the Power of Thinking in Layers
Summary:
In this class we’ll practice painting worn leather and discuss how conceptualizing the painting process in layers can unlock a whole new level of complexity in your mini-painting.
Description:
What do ogres and mini-painting have in common? They have layers! Most people are familiar with layering in mini-painting as a technique for quickly creating color transitions and building highlights. But if we take a closer look at why layering works and extrapolate that out to the rest of the painting process, we'll discover a world of new possibilities with our painting. If you've ever wondered how the pros can create such evocative colors/textures/lighting/depth this is the class for you! For Intermediate painters. It is highly recommended to take my "Become a Mini-painting Maestro by Mastering the Fundamentals." class before taking this one if you aren't already very comfortable with your paint application.
