AOP: PAINTING THE LAST 10%
This standalone course brings you inside the studio and right to the easel. Painting the Last 10% offers 15 real-time video sessions, ranging from 5 minutes to an hour, where I talk through the thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving that goes into finishing a painting, while I’m finishing my own pieces.
The last 10% of a painting can take the longest! I filmed these videos to help show you there is no one right way, but there are many approaches to finishing.
