About the final project for: Realistic Pet Portraits with Oil Painting

Realistic Pet Portraits with Oil Painting

“I am very happy that you have chosen this course, as years of studying oil painting are consolidated here, in addition to all the insights I gained as a student. Hope you enjoyed the course! To facilitate the realization of your project, I have prepared a list of essential steps: · Choose the reference you want to paint. · Create the composition and then mark the grids in the photo using the app. Also make the grids on the canvas after having done the printing. · Draw the screen following the grids as they are in the reference after editing the image through the app. · Start by painting the darkest or shadow areas, then the lightest or lightest areas, then the eyes, nose and mouth. You can put the background last. · Do a general check on the painting, including a photo, because you can see things that you are not seeing live. Make the final details and corrections that you can identify through the photo. · Take a photo and also post it on your social media, tag @artrocha and #MarceloRocháDomestika on Instagram. These are the main steps of my Milly project:

“Final project Congratulations, we have finished the course. I am very happy that you chose this course, because many years of oil painting study are consolidated here and many insights I had as a student. Here I presented the pet painting methodology that I've been developing for years. I believe that this methodology is ideal for carrying out realistic work, but also loaded with emotion. To create your own project, first choose a good photo. I recommend that it be one from the back up, because making a full body image is more complex. Try to choose a photo with well defined areas of light ...”

Marcelo Rocha is a Brazilian painter specializing in oil and plein air paint. After working for many years as an IT executive, he decided to study painting at Plein Air Studio in Brazil and The Art Students League in the United States. Nowadays, he dedicates himself exclusively to art and is the author of hundreds of canvases made to order and scattered throughout private collections in America, Europe and Asia.

With a realistic style, Marcelo portrays people and pets with marked brushstrokes and interesting pictorial effects. His passion for painting pets started with his own dog, a Paulistin fox named Sheik. After a first try, he realized he could be happy in that niche.
