Painting this rose seemed like an impossible task when I first watch the video, but by following the instructions step by step I was amazed at what I have done. This success was the cataclist to want to learn more about oil painting. Two years later, I am happy in my new experience and continue to paint and learn.

FOUNDATIONS OF OIL PAINTING
A look inside this powerful course.
Lesson 1: Materials
Setting up your Work Space. Understanding your paints, brushes and palette management and tools every artist’s needs. You don’t need a studio to do your art.
Lesson 2: Values
Understanding Value, Separation of Lights and Darks are essential to depict form. In this lesson we paint a black cube and white sphere to learn and understand the properties of light and shadow. Doing this exercise with show you how to create convincing light and dimensional form.
Lesson 3: Notans
I have found the application of the Notan Principle to be one of the most powerful tools for painters because it helps you quickly problem solve and see what you are going to paint. It becomes a roadmap for your painting.
Lesson 4: Notans & Lighting
I call this the “Holy Grail” of painting. In these 4 Notan painting exercises we dive deeper into the Notan principle and apply it to 4 powerful lighting motifs in 4 small studies.
Lesson 5: Notans Applied to Color
In this figurative painting of a woman in a white dress in bright sunlight we will work with our last lighting affect, the Dramatic Direct Light Motif. In this lighting effect the light is bright and you clearly see shadows. The values are more hight contrast in this type of light compared to the relative light motif.
Lesson 6: Value of Color
Understanding and practicing how to translate value to color is so powerful! See how this technique has made my art get to the next level. In this lesson we will use our #3 notan, the Relative Value Motif to paint a full color 8” x 10” painting of Sunset Cliffs. Our objective for this lesson is to mix harmonious colors with keeping within our 4 value structure. .
Lesson 7: Drawing Fundamentals
Learn the drawing basics of linear perspective in these 3 simple but powerful modules. Practice drawing perspective in your sketch book using the photo references provided in the Lesson Images folder. Keep these principles in mind when painting.
Lesson 8: Color Charts

“Rose Irelan is a consummate and gifted teacher. Although I studied drawing and painting at a well known atelier for seven years, I struggled to get a clear over arching foundation in painting. Rose’s clear, coherent and sequenced curriculum perfectly addressed my needs.” “
Testimonial Janice Z, Retired teacher and Art Journey student
“Rose Irelan’s Art Journey is one of the greatest tools I have as both a seasoned artist and an art teacher. It’s like she took all the nuggets from every class and workshop I’ve taken over the years and compiled them and organized them in one place. I would absolutely recommend this course to both the novice and the professional. Even though I have been painting for decades, Rose’s course helped me organize my space and refine my process so that I can be more effective with my time in the studio.”
