We desire to paint the world around us, but where do we begin? We begin with the most basic building blocks, the foundational principles of classical painting. In this video series, Kevin takes you step by step and opens up the world of painting, giving thorough demonstrations of which oil paints and brushes to use, how to prepare your canvas, and introduces you to key fundamental concepts such as geometric essence and light source. With these lessons, you are given the tools to see simply, and to draw the world around you.
