Join Pierre Finkelstein for his 3-part series each featuring 1 ½ hours of online demonstration of Woodgraining veining fundamentals. This sketch-based instruction will be useful for all levels of painters. Pierre will breakdown graining into its simplest form by focusing on the basic structure of the heartgrain as well as straightgraining.

He will demonstrate how to correctly hold different brushes to create a variety of wood patterns, composition and flow, and wood layout. You will learn how to design and compose most of the heart wood graining in a realistic manner on this drawing based instruction. Pierre will simplify teaching the structure of the grain by minimizing color with these medium to small scale drawings to understand graining pattern fundamentals.

Pierre will also review some technical skills to do burls, moire based woods (such as birds eye, satin wood, etc). He will also review different species of wood and wood formation based on milling cuts.

This is a sketch based course that does not incorporate painting.

Please note: streaming access to the video is for 30 days after purchase

* Materials needed: paper, pencil, water board & brush and optional kit to practice along BKIT-14
