Window to Provence

Windowto Provence

A fun oil painting marathon

Two-day oil painting marathon

In this work we will create not just a landscape, but an almost surreal space, where the window becomes the border between reality and dream.
On one side an old wall, shutters, architecture, the texture of plaster. On the other light, air, clouds, warm fields and sunny Provence, which seems to begin penetrating inside the very space of the painting.
"Window to Provence" is a painting about light, space and the feeling of summer that can be preserved on canvas.

What the course gives you

We will work with the contrast between architectural form and free painting, combining sharp details of the window with a more abstract, lively landscape, learning to convey bright sunlight, depth of space and complex warm tones.
We will pay special attention to texture: we will use thick painting, work with the palette knife, free brushstrokes and layering, so the surface of the painting stays alive and modern.
Over two days we will cover composition, perspective, architectural elements, working with the sky and clouds, building the background, and, most importantly, we will create the feeling of that very southern light that makes you want to open the window and find yourself on the other side.

Back in 1996 my parents took me to a children's art school. That was how it was done - children were sent to learn to draw. But unlike my classmates at the "art school", even then I had made up my mind that painting would be my profession.

After school I went to a college of culture, where I qualified as a "Master Artist". It is the place where they taught me not only to paint, but to cross-stitch, to knot macramé, to model and to carve... In short, everything you can possibly imagine in the crafts was passed on to me there by experienced teachers.
