Fine Art: Painting A Landscape With Oil Colors

My simple process of landscape painting with oil colors

Painting with oil colors is not difficult as it seems to many people. Oil colors are actually one of the oldest mediums of painting and also one of the most flexible mediums to work with.

Mandar Marathe is a fine artist and he has been painting with oils since last 20 years. He has had several shows of his paintings and his paintings are in private collections of companies and private individuals in 9 countries.

You do not need prior experience or a lot of expensive materials to take this class and learn to paint using the method he shows.

In this class he'll walk you through his process of creating a painting based of a photo he clicked on a weekend trip. He begins with showing how he makes various compositions based on the same photo and makes the preliminary drawing on the oil paper using a thinned burnt sienna.

Then he mixes all the required shades of secondary and tertiary colors using a limited set of colors. Now is the time to start applying colors to the painting one by one, starting from darkest dark to lighter colors. While applying every new color, he compares that color and it's value with colors already applied to the painting.
Once all major shapes are painted, us uses a small round brush and palette knife to add just enough amount of details to the painting.

Once he signs the painting and removes the masking tape border, the ready painting reveals itself.

Join this class to experience a painterly journey that starts from a photo and leads us to an artistic painting!
