Course Program:

1. Introduction to Materials. Still Life in the Underpainting Technique.
   We’ll begin by learning the basic principles of working with oil paint. You will learn how to select the right materials and create still-life paintings, depicting flowers, glass, or food (your choice) using the underpainting technique. This is the foundation that will help you better understand how to build compositions and work with color.

2. Landscape: The Sea. Conveying Spatial Perspective with Color.
   We’ll dive deeper into the technique of conveying space through color. You will learn how to differentiate and use cool and warm tones, as well as how they influence the viewer's perception of your painting. We'll work in a mixed technique: brush and palette knife, paying special attention to the correct hand position when working with these tools.

3. Landscape: Mountains. Conveying Spatial Perspective with Texture.
   This lesson focuses on creating depth through texture. You’ll master the technique of working with a palette knife, learn different methods of using this tool, and see how the thickness of the material can alter the perception of the artwork as a whole.

4. Silhouette: Human or Animal (Your Choice). Conveying Form with Color and Texture.
   Here, you will learn how to depict volume and movement using brushstrokes. We’ll explore how the direction of your brushstroke affects the final result, experimenting with different methods to create realistic and expressive forms.
