Oil painting class

Small road by Jacqueline Apel
Jacqueline Apel teaches oil painting in 4 steps:

    * Learning to see: construction, proportions, shades and lights, using the sightsize technique (drawing techniques from Charles Bargue), study of a drape.
    * The grays: value scale, contrasts, lost edges, perspective (limited palette)
    * Quick sketches: mixing colours, composition, efficiency and technique
    * Still life with full palette: arranging the space (composition, clair-obscur, determining the focal point, 3D illusion, distance and atmosphere)
