Watercolor is a very useful technique to learn the use of colors and prepare yourself for other mediums such as tempera, acrylic paint and oil paints. This medium is very practical for painters, both for the simple use and for the easy maintenance of the materials, and especially in the learning phase or in a preparatory project for a painting, its simplicity allows us to experiment with color in various ways .

Learning how to use watercolor correctly is not easy, especially at the beginning being able to safeguard the white of the paper is a very difficult undertaking. The ability that is acquired with the exercise in handling the right amount of water and pigment, and learning how colors evolve in their mixing or in the overlapping of color glazes, guarantee you an edge in using all other mediums. Write to me for more info on watercolor lessons or come and visit me in my studio.

Oil painting, from its discovery until today, has always been considered the preferred medium of painters. The great elasticity given by the oily medium allows us to create from the softest shades and the thinnest glazes to the brightest, thickest and most decisive strokes.

This pictorial technique is much loved by artists and its potential allows us to give space to creativity. In figurative painting, as in academic drawing, before talking about compositions and creativity, it is necessary to exercise a lot of painting from life. The beauty of painting is that you can also represent anything you can see in nature, and spend time contemplating it until you grasp all its beauty and "steal" a little piece of it to keep on the canvas. I confess that every time I happen to observe a sketch that I painted from life, especially in the open air, I can remember the sensations, the noises, the sounds, the beauty of what I was portraying, and that moment of life that I was able to savor by catching its colors.

I can help you with lessons in the studio or outdoors for painting en plein air
