“This class was such a relaxing and eye-opening experience. Breaking the scene down into simple shapes and light made it so much easier to create depth without overthinking.”
– Michelle W.
What will you learn:
In this course, you’ll learn how to create depth in a cozy winter night scene without relying on complex perspective or heavy detail.
We’ll focus on observing light and shadow, simplifying what we see, and using contrast, glow, and edge control to make the image read clearly.
This course is designed to help you see better, paint simpler, and create depth that feels natural and readable.
Class project:
You’ll paint a cat sitting on a windowsill with a dark interior, warm Christmas light glowing outside, and soft fairy lights above.
Step by step, you’ll learn how to simplify the scene into clear shapes, build depth with just a few values, add believable glow, and control edges so the foreground and background feel separated and calm.
See you in the class
