Tips & Techniques – Painting Bold Like the Masters:
-
Don’t overmix, let brushstrokes show.
-
Use complementary colors for contrast.
-
Paint in layers. Let each layer dry before adding highlights.
-
Use dry brush technique for added texture.
Try this setup:
Choose a reference image and recreate it in your own colors. Paint loose, fast, and bold. Use the cups for mixing 2–3 dominant hues and build around those. Add in accents with bright brights or deep shadows.
📝 TIP: The best way to learn from the masters is to paint like them, loosely, boldly, and with the right tools in your hand.
