In this 30 min video, you will learn how to add value and depth to your painting. You will create textured layers of paint that will allow your artistic personality to shine through. Included in this workshop is a drawing guide and supply list. 

Included with this tutorial is a drawing guide. Feel free to draw it free hand! But, the grid pattern is an easy way to transfer the image onto your canvas. You lightly draw the grid pattern onto your canvas, and then you can focus on drawing the image focusing on just one square at a time. The important thing to remember when drawing the grids is that they must have a 1:1 ratio. This is very important – otherwise your drawing will be distorted! Basically, a 1:1 ratio means that you will have the exact same number of lines on your canvas as you will on your reference photo, and that in both cases, the lines must be equally spaced apart – perfect squares.
