Glowing Snow with Debbie Milner-Lively

Learn how to paint these snow laden trees in the warmth of the sun! In this workshop I'll be teaching you about the importance of value and design. You'll also learn colour mixing to create strong light along with brushwork and the use of complementary hues. You can use your own photos and change the subject or paint from my images. All experience levels welcome. 

Oil Painting Supply List

In order to paint with oil paints in a solvent free manner, you can use regular artist quality oil paints or the brand I use, M Graham. When I need a solvent for thinning, I use Gamsol- brand Gamblin 100% odorless solvent.  It is highly refined and has low toxic effects  even the other odorless  brands.
