Description
This is a paint along course where I will cover some basic techniques to achieve a beautiful realistic still life impressionist style painting of some cherries. Still life is a great way to exercise your brushwork and by painting cherries you can expand your painting skills and learn a lot about lighting and reflections. Molding the shape of the cherries with your brush and exploring blending techniques will do wonders for your overall control. This step by step process is all in real-time and there is something to gain for all levels, especially beginners and intermediate painters.These small paintings are perfect for enhancing creativity when trying to achieve that painterly look that everyone just loves. That's why, even though the canvas is pretty small, we'll be using mainly larger brushes to move the paint around and very rarely the small detail brush. In the end, the painting will appear loose, confident and will deliver great impact.We will focus on the cherries and getting vivid and realistic colors to blend beautifully with each other but don't be afraid to experiment and play around with the color variation. Use the palette knife if you feel it helps, use only large brushes if you want and skip the small ones, or paint the cherries a different color. It's all about having fun.

Beginners and intermediate students. I will explain everything I do along the way and, if you keep in mind the beginner tips and techniques mentioned in the course, you will be able to follow along and get a great result in the end;,Oil painters. The painting is done in oils and many of the techniques, while can be done in other mediums too, are primarily oil painting techniques;,Acrylic Painters. All the colors mentioned in the course are available in acrylics too. I have painted in acrylics for years and I can safely say that you can get a similar result using this medium. It would be more difficult to blend new layers into the underlayers but you can still get similar effects by reapplying both layer colors in small areas and blending them on the spot.,Gouache, watercolor and Tempera Painters are welcome to try, and although the mediums are different, I would love to see the result and I'm really curious as to how the painting will look in these types of mediums;
