In this beginner oil painting course (oil painting project demo) you will learn to paint a simple oil landscape using just a few colours and tools.
I would recommend watching the whole oil painting demo all the way through before painting the painting itself. This way you’ll have a great understanding as to what you need to prepare for before starting to put paint on the canvas.
This painting was done wet on wet. Meaning: the painting did not have the chance to dry before the next layers were applied.
Here is the supply list for this oil painting class:
Shop towels*
10″ x 20″ gessoed** canvas (I gesso my canvas with two to three coats, making sure that previous coat dries before applying the next one)
Paint palette (or anything with a hard nonporous surface)
Paint thinner or gamsol (to clean your brushes and palette)
Clear gel medium (to mix the white medium)
Brushes:
1-inch brush
Fan Brush
Flat palate knife
Paint colours (I use Gamblin 1980s series):
Ultramarine blue (or any blue)
Ivory black (or any black)
Sap green (I really love the intensity of sap green, but other greens are fine too)
Alizarin crimson (or any red)
Cadmium yellow light (or any yellow)
Titanium white
*Shop towels are way better than regular paper towels as they leave no residue or paper towel shavings when wiping the canvas.
**Gesso is an acrylic paint base. It can be thin or thick. In this case I’m using it to prime my canvas, so it needs to be thicker (so I don’t have to prime it with more than two or three coats.)
