Why does a single detail make our gaze linger on a painting? Why does a bright color become the focal point in one work, but disrupt the composition in another? And does an accent even have to be bright?

Materials
Paints
We will need my standard set of paints.
I use French PEBEO paints. You can use paints from other manufacturers, but the shades may differ.
Below is a list of paints and their PEBEO numbers
- titanium white25
- lemon yellow01
- cadmium yellow02
- cadmium red 05/06/07 ( choose one or use all)
- light ochre20
- raw sienna21
- pink37
- madder50
- turquoise38
- cobalt blue12
- ultramarine14
- steel blue47
- black24
The only color from the Ladoga/Master Class range is Leningrad raw umber.
As you can see, I do not have any green.
Solvent
I paint using pure odorless pinene. If you are used to painting with oil or triple medium, that is up to you, but I recommend taking a closer look at my painting method.
Brushes
I use synthetic filbert brushes. From the smallest to medium sizes. You can use a flat wash brush if you wish. I will not focus on these. A bristle brush will not be a primary brush either.
Other tools may come up as I create the course. I will discuss them in the lessons, but they will not be essential.
Palette knife
I always recommend having 2-4 palette knives in different shapes.
Canvas
The size I will be painting on: 60x70
In the lessons, I paint on linen canvases. You are free to choose your own size. Use the aspect ratio as a guide.
If the reference is elongated, the difference between the side lengths should be 20 cm or more (for example, 40x60 / 50x70).
Classic rectangular formats have a 10 cm difference between the side lengths (40x50 / 50x60)
Choose square or round canvases based on the reference as well.
I do not mind if you depart from the specified canvas proportions, for example, if the reference is elongated and you decide to use a square canvas.
This is always an interesting creative challenge.
