Sight Size is a method of arranging subject and canvas so that the artist can observe both at a 1 to 1 ratio. It was a traditional method practiced by masters from the Renaissance that allows artist to make accurate measurements for still life and portraiture. In this 7 1/2 hour tutorial, Andrea will use the sight size method to paint a still life under natural light. Beginners will learn how to make decisions on materials, and good habits to practice. Experienced artists will learn new methods to train the eye in drawing and painting realistic work. Each brush stroke will be thoroughly explained as the step by step process will guide you through the development stages into a finished oil painting.
