The idea for this course came to me, when I was reading through a Russian Fine Arts college instructional book a friend sent me. When I saw the chapter about the Grid technique it reminded me how I used this method in Russia while copying works of old masters.

What we’re going to learn:

We will accomplish several projects, starting with still life (2 projects), progressing to painting portraits in mixed media (3 projects), using my favorite art supplies and painting techniques, while practicing grid method.

You will have hours of instructional videos, which you can download and keep forever on your device .

A Facebook group is available for students to share their work.

Is this class for you?

This class is for all skill levels, no previous experience in drawing or painting is required.

If you’re a skilled artist you will be surprisingly pleased to rediscover this method and I hope I could inspire you!

To be able to watch the videos high speed internet is required .

You should have basic computer skills, such as navigating on my website and to be able to use your printer, if you want to print images from the course.

Art supplies: 

Acrylic paints, white gesso, Inktense Blocks 12 or/and Faber Castell soft pastels, brushes, watercolor paper, deli paper, grid paper, designer paper, canvas boards, graphite pencil, compressed charcoal, wipes/paper towels/rugs…

Hope to see you in the class!
