Paint the centrepiece in our tryptich of Renoir gardens.

- Impressionistic flower beds
- Renoir's feathery brush strokes
Tone
A warm tone, then a sketch painting to capture the rhythms and big shapes.
Blocking
No blocking in this painting.
Texture
The darkest tones are applied in a loose, improvisatory fashion.
Then the greens and blues.
Mix your impasto colours in these stainless steel bowls and I will store them for you between the two sessions.
Marbled colours help with our chromaticism.
Detail
In the lesson I will demonstrate the brushstrokes used to create the illusion of detail.
