Learn more in less time with Quick Studies.
Craig Nelson’s exciting one-hour sessions help you hone your skills without spending days on a single painting. Craig’s dynamic approach works with any subject matter.
In this workshop, he paints a floral from life and a figure from photo reference. In both demonstrations, you’ll see a time-tested approach to developing oil paintings. Craig breaks his process into five basic stages, allowing you to identify your weaknesses at every step. You’ll learn to pick the right brush, evaluate color, and rework problem areas. As you gain confidence, you’ll begin to eliminate unimportant details and say more with less. As Craig says, “For painting skills, it is far better to paint 30 one-hour paintings than one 30-hour painting.” Get started on your first exhilarating hour in Quick Studies in Oil with Craig Nelson.
