An oil painting marathon that is anything but dull
A two-day oil painting marathon, "Under Sail". There are pictures you want to step into yourself: a sunny day, the open sea, wind filling the sail, the boat sliding over the waves and, ahead, only the horizon and the feeling of a real summer adventure. In this two-day marathon we paint in oils a lively sea subject with two young travellers setting out towards the wind. "Under Sail" is two days of painting and a small journey to a horizon of your own.
At the end of the marathon you will have the result in the form of your own oil painting, which will look professional

This work — a wonderful chance to learn to paint water in motion. We will go through how to convey the depth of the sea, the great masses of the waves, the highlights of the sun and the white foam so that the water does not look frozen.
We will give separate attention to the light sail — its shape, its folds, the warm and cool shades of white, the sunlight and the shadows. We will talk about how to work with contrasts and color so that the sail becomes the main patch of light in the picture.
We will go through the composition, the perspective of the boat and the figures of the people. We will learn to paint them freely, without needless detail, keeping the sense of movement and of a living brushstroke.
Over two days, step by step, we will create a finished piece — sunny and filled with air, with the sea and with a feeling of freedom.
