Our Verdict
Impressionism - Paint this Italy Scene in Oil or Acrylic is an engaging, informative e-learning experience that places a strong emphasis on hands-on learning and technique application. It caters well to a variety of artistic skill levels while providing valuable theoretical knowledge. Minor improvements could include further elaboration on specific impressionistic techniques, tailored material information for those purchasing supplies online, and an option to view the reference photo consistently throughout video lessons. While there is always room for growth, Christopher Clarke's course offers students an exceptional opportunity to explore the foundational principles of Impressionism through a captivating painting project.
What We Liked
- The course offers a clear, step-by-step guide to creating an impressionistic painting, providing insight into planning, perspective lines, and underpainting studies.
- Christopher Clarke's teaching style is organized, coherent, and concise, catering to all skill levels while encouraging personal development of painting techniques.
- A detailed focus on the value of brushwork provides students with valuable lessons in creating dynamic, lively paintings.
- A wide-ranging curriculum covers topics such as light, color, values, edges, and how they contribute to powerful impressionistic compositions.
Potential Drawbacks
- Less experienced painters may struggle to follow the quick pace; some found themselves frequently pausing and replaying video segments.
- Greater explanation of certain impressionist techniques (such as paint color selection) would be helpful for beginners looking to improve their skills in this area.
- Some users have expressed confusion about specific terms or materials; additional information and clarification may prove beneficial.
- The course's organization into single-scene lessons might not appeal to those interested in more generalized landscape painting techniques.
