1.0 Landscape in oils

A calm, step-by-step method from a Forbes-featured artist. Painted at home, one evening at a time.

Meet Me
by the Sea.

Two white chairs, a table for wine, bougainvillea and a very blue sea. We'll paint it together, layer by layer, until it's hanging on your own wall.

A note from me

Pull up a chair.

Let's paint.

I'm Vlada. I taught myself to paint in 2018, mostly in the evenings, with no one to tell me what came first. I made a lot of muddy canvases before I understood that painting is a sequence, and that the sequence is what makes it feel calm.

 

This course is that sequence, the one I wish someone had handed me. Three layers, one painting, no rush. Make a cup of tea, clear a corner of the table, and press play.

2.0 Sound familiar?

You've always wanted to paint.

You just never started.

You save paintings on Instagram and think, I could never do that.

You don't lack talent.

You lack a sequence.

You bought paints once. They’re still in a drawer.

Tutorials move too fast and you end up with mud.

Every painting in this course is broken into small, forgiving steps. Each one dries before the next begins, so there is always time to breathe, fix, and try again.

Oil paint feels messy, and only for “real artists”.

3.0 The method

Three layers.

No guesswork.

1

Sketch

Composition

Map the landscape with watercolour pencil. Soft, forgiving and easy to correct, so nothing is ever ruined.

2

Underpainting

Light and tone

Block in light and shadow with fast-drying acrylic. This is the moment the painting starts to glow.

3

Oil layer

Colour and finish

Build colour, depth and texture in oils, slowly, with every brushstroke shown. Finish with confidence.

Paint in small evenings. Each layer is its own session. Stop when the light goes, pick up where you left off tomorrow.
