The Art of Painting - Scott Waddell's New Tutorial Video

"The Art of Painting: An In-Depth Look at How an Artist Thinks and Sees" is Scott Waddell's most recent downloadable tutorial video, covering the creation of two drawings and several new oil paintings while describing techniques and strategies useful to artists of all skill levels. Scott is an instructor in the core program covering cast and figure work, as well as in the evening classes and summer workshops.


This tutorial covers the essential concepts necessary to create realistic figurative paintings, including topics such as perspective, anatomy, color, color-mixing and the interaction between light and form. The production values are very high and the the complexities of light and and visual depiction are broken down into a clear and lucid manner.
