We will first understand what a master copy is and why it is an important exercise for the classical artist.Throughout the course you will learn in depth about the materials we are using - including graphite, charcoal, oil paint and oil mediums. The first exercise we will do is a quick pencil sketch. This frees us up and introduces the painting we will be copying.We will then do a value sketch with charcoal and white chalk. Small studies are helpful because they force us to break down the composition and values in an easy-to-understand way.Taking what we've learned about the values and composition of the Mona Lisa, we will then make a colour study of the painting with oil paint - here we will learn how to mix the palette and compress our values to create a study that shows clearly the combined colour and value relationships of the painting.Next, we will set up our canvas and apply an imprimatura - a classical technique of "toning" our canvas.Throughout the course I will explain the meaning behind each exercise and how to use it in your personal art practice.We will transfer a drawing using a photo reference that we will print out in black and white on A3 paper - this part of the course is essential if you have struggling to use a grid to transfer an image accurately.We will start the painting with a raw umber under-painting. Following that, a colour block-in, and then step by step through each section of the painting until it is finished.In this course you will achieve an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of oil painting - the essential elements that are used to create classical art such as light, shadow, edges and transitions. You will learn everything from training your eye to see, how thickly to paint on different areas, how to turn the form and create a 3-dimensional portrait.You will understand more about colour and how warm and cool hues relate to shadows, mid-tones, lights and highlights.If you are interested at all in academic painting, this course has a lot to offer - even if you just want to try some of the first shorter exercises as a beginner art student or jump straight to the painting part of the Mona Lisa or even to use as an informative reference for the practical aspects of oil painting - such as how to work fat over lean, how to look after your brushes and how to stretch a canvas etc. Lastly, I will show you how to varnish a painting to preserve your work.If you want to learn from an experienced teacher and start training your eyes and hand to achieve a draughtsmanship of oil painting reminiscent of the masters of the past - this is a must have course for your artistic development.Are you ready to deep dive into oils and colour, line and form? Making a master copy is an invaluable way to improve your artistic ability. It develops your technical skills so you can become a master artist. It is a common exercise in the academic atelier system and now you can try it too!

The first few exercises are incredibly valuable and are suitable for all art students.You can use what you have learned in this course to influence and impact your own work, develop your artistic practice and use new skills and techniques. Every exercise we do can be transferred to your real life studio. The process of making a master copy will follow a set academic methodology - from initial sketch, colour/compositional study, transfer drawing, raw umber underpainting and full colour painting. So although we will be painting the Mona Lisa, you can also use this course as a manual for creating a painting from any image; step by step, in an academic way. You can use this method forever!What if it doesn't look like her?In the case of a master copy, the end result is not as important as the learning process. By attempting a copy, we put ourselves in a different state of mind as we break down barriers to achieve the effect of the painting we are copying. Unlike a portrait commission or a personal art project, this project is purely theory and learning based - we are not aiming to create a perfect copy, we are aiming to improve our drawing and painting ability. Don't make painting an exact copy the goal. This course is for art students who want to learn something new and who understand that process is more important than the end result.What else will you get?- Lifetime access to course materials- A certificate of completion- Personal contact with me in the Udemy Q & A sectionThis course is all in one place for ease of use.
