Does raw canvas feel challenging to approach?
The reality is that raw canvas is an open field for experimentation when approached with the right tools and mindset. My course, "Advanced Techniques in Raw Canvas," guides you through essential processes, from understanding material behavior to making confident compositional decisions. You’ll work through advanced techniques, intentional layering, and large-scale approaches as you develop a deeper connection to your process.
BY THE END, YOU'LL:
Master Raw Canvas Techniques
Work directly on untreated canvas while exploring brushes, scrapers, diluted paint, and layering to create expressive, intentional surfaces and textures.
Refine Composition & Decisions
Learn how surface behavior, absorption, and layering influence composition, allowing you to balance intuition with informed, material-driven choices.
Build a Confident Process
Embrace experimentation, develop clarity around irreversible marks, and strengthen your ability to recognize when a raw canvas piece feels complete.
COURSE CONTENT
The course includes 6 structured modules with over 12 hours of lessons and demonstrations, guiding you step by step through the process. You’ll have access to 64 video lessons you can pause, replay, and revisit as you refine your technique and strengthen your artistic voice.
Designed for artists ready to push their practice further, this course suits intermediate painters seeking more control and experienced artists exploring raw canvas as a primary surface.
Each module builds on the last, guiding you from understanding raw canvas to mastering gesture, layering, and large‑format work. By the end, you’ll create expressive, confident pieces that balance intuition and control.
