Class Description

A strong painting begins long before the final details are added. In this demonstration, Bernie Dellario explores the importance of establishing a solid foundation to support a successful painting. Using the same image in both acrylic and gouache, he’ll share two different approaches to building a painting from the start, demonstrating how thoughtful planning and a strong underlying structure can guide the entire process. Through video demonstrations and PowerPoint slides, Bernie will offer practical insights to help you approach your next painting with greater confidence and intention.
