Description
Paint a busy café scene full of streaming sunlight with Desmond O’Hagan! This start-to-finish demonstration will give you a detailed lesson on how to infuse a scene with interesting and realistic light. Along the way, you’ll get advice on mixing rich, subtle skin tones, using each layer as a road map for the next as you work dark to light, and critiquing your own work. With Desmond’s consistent, methodical way of working, you’ll see how he achieves atmosphere and depth by choosing which areas to refine and which to leave as mere suggestions of forms.
In this video you will learn:
- Strategies for how to paint figures
- How to mix interesting dark colors to use in place of black
- Why it’s important to leave details until the end of the painting process
