In the course, you will also discover twelve pivotal Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, along with some of their most iconic works. These artists helped shape the direction of modern painting, and understanding their contribution can deepen your appreciation for art while also inspiring your own creative journey.

To make the experience even more engaging, there is a short quiz at the end so you can test what you have learned and enjoy the process a little more. Whether you are completely new to Impressionism or simply want a clear introduction to the movement, this mini course is designed to be informative, accessible, and fun.

You can take the free course here or dive in with the embedded course below.

​We’ve all been there: you start a painting with grand intentions, but somewhere around the two-hour mark, you find yourself “noodling”—fussing over tiny details, over-blending, and scrubbing away the energy you captured in your first few marks.
Suddenly, your vibrant, impressionistic vision feels tight, muddy, and stiff.
Looseness isn’t a lack of discipline; it’s the result of absolute control. If you want to paint with the confidence of the masters, you have to stop “polishing” your work and start making deliberate statements. Here are my top five secrets for mastering loose, expressive brushwork, plus one bonus technique to give your paintings that “Bravura” wow factor.

​
1. Reach for a Bigger Brush
Most painters fail at looseness because they reach for a small brush too soon. Small brushes are for details, and if you start with details, you’ll never see the big picture. Start with the largest brush you own—or one size larger than you feel comfortable with. A large brush forces you to simplify shapes and prevents the temptation to paint every leaf on a tree or every window on a building. A bigger brush makes better decisions for you.

2. Hold the Brush at the End of the Handle
When you choke up near the ferrule, you’re using your fingers. Fingers are for writing—they are tight and precise. When you hold the brush toward the end of the handle, you are forced to use your wrist and your entire arm. This naturally creates wider, more fluid, and more rhythmic marks. If you feel like your work is “cramped,” your grip is likely the culprit.

3. The “One Stroke, One Placement” Rule
Tension in a painting usually comes from trying to “blend” or “fix” colors on the canvas. Instead, treat every mark like a piece of mosaic tile. Lay the color down, move to the next area, and leave it alone. If you go back to “nudge” or blend a stroke, you are robbing the painting of its freshness. Trust your initial placement. If it’s slightly off, adjust it with the next stroke, but don’t scrub the original.

4. Squint Until the Details Vanish
We often tighten up because we are distracted by visual clutter. Squint at your subject until the details blur away. What remains are the big, simple shapes of light and shadow. If you can’t see the detail while squinting, it doesn’t belong in your painting. Use this “squint test” to simplify your values, and you’ll find your brushwork naturally becomes more honest and direct.

5. Use Broken Color (Let the Canvas Mix)
If you pre-mix your colors to perfection on the palette, you’ll end up with a smooth, plastic-looking result. Instead, lay distinct, adjacent strokes of color side-by-side on the canvas. Don’t worry about them touching; let the viewer’s eye do the “optical mixing” from three feet away. This is the essence of Impressionism—it keeps the painting luminous, vibrating, and full of life.

Bonus: The “Bravura” Stroke
After you’ve laid down your structure and established your colors, you need a heartbeat for the painting. This is your “Bravura” moment—a display of confidence.
Load your brush (or palette knife) with a thick, saturated knob of paint. Pick your focal point—the path of sunlight on a wall or a highlight on a figure—and apply it with one fearless, decisive swipe. Don’t blend it, don’t smooth it, and never touch it again. The texture of that thick paint will catch the light, creating a “wow” factor that brings your entire scene to life.

​

1. Underpainting
What is it?
Underpainting means starting your painting with a single color or a few simple colors. I suggest using earth tones like Burnt Sienna and Ultramarine, thinned with white spirits or your favorite medium. This helps you quickly set up the main shapes and values in your painting.

Why is it important?
Beginning with an underpainting takes away the fear of a blank canvas and helps guide your painting. It lets you plan your design early and make changes before adding color, so your finished piece feels balanced and harmonious.


2. Glazing
What is it?
Glazing means brushing a see-through layer of color, made by mixing medium with transparent paint, over dry parts of your painting. While this technique is often associated with the Old Masters, you can use it in impressionist painting, too. For example, you might warm up cool areas with transparent yellow, but avoid adding white, since that would turn it into a tint.

Why is it important?
Glazing lets you change the warmth or coolness of colors, add depth, and create gentle changes in mood or atmosphere. It’s also great for fixing colors later on without hiding the details you’ve already painted.


3. Alla Prima
What is it?
Alla prima, which means “at first attempt” in Italian, is when you finish your painting in one sitting while the paint is still wet. This approach brings energy and spontaneity to your art, making it ideal for small paintings and practice pieces.

Why is it important?
Painting alla prima helps you become more confident and decisive. You’ll get better at seeing and mixing colors, making bold brushstrokes, and enjoying the expressive nature of oil paint.


 4. Impasto
What is it?
Impasto is when you put paint on thickly so you can see the marks from your brush or palette knife. I often paint wet over wet paint to build up rich, three-dimensional color. It’s important to put thicker paint on top of thinner layers, a method called “fat over lean.”

Why is it important?
Impasto gives your painting real texture, drama, and a sense of movement. It makes your artwork feel lively and encourages people to notice the surface of the paint.


5. Scumbling
What is it?
Scumbling means brushing a thicker layer of paint over a dry or almost dry layer underneath. This creates a broken look where the colors below peek through. I use scumbling to show things like sparkling highlights, sunlit grass, or shimmering water.

Why is it important?
Scumbling creates lovely broken color effects that look natural and add detail, light, and atmosphere to your landscapes or still life paintings.


Final Thoughts
Practicing these five techniques often will help you feel more confident and improve your oil paintings. Even experienced artists go back to these basics to stay sharp and keep their work interesting. So grab your brushes and give them a try. Happy painting!

If you’ve been looking for a lightweight, no-fuss easel for plein air painting—or simply something that doesn’t take over your studio space—the KraftGeek Inspire Tripod Easel may be exactly what you need.
I recently got my hands on this compact tripod easel and gave it a full test—from unboxing to setting up outdoors in my backyard for a quick impressionist painting demo. In this post, I’ll share my experience and why I think this easel is a solid option for both beginners and pros.

​What Stood Out to Me

• Lightweight & Compact:
  Weighing just 3.85 lbs (1.75 kg) and folding down to under 20 inches (50 cm), this easel is easy to carry, store, or toss in your bag for spontaneous painting sessions.
• Upmarket Look and Quality: The easel looks great as I am sure you will agree. Sleek, sturdy and quality of manufacture is self-evident.
• Quick Setup, No Assembly Needed:
  I was able to deploy it in under a minute. No tools, no fuss—just unfold and start painting. The tripod legs were quicker to deploy than my regular expensive tripod!
• Adjustable for Any Setting:
  Whether you’re standing, sitting, painting indoors or outdoors, it adjusts up to 165 cm in height and works as both a tabletop and floor easel.
• Fits Most Canvases:
  With its expandable spring holder, the Inspire handles canvases from about 11" to 26" high and up to 1.5" thick.
• Stable on Uneven Surfaces:
  Twist locks and silicone feet mean your easel won’t wobble or tip over—perfect for plein air painting in real-world terrain.
• Smart Extras:
  It includes a 1/4” screw mount (great for attaching lights or cameras) 

Suggested Add-On:

• Would be nice to have a ready-made palette to hook onto the tripod legs. Maybe KraftGeek adds that to their lineup!

Conclusion:
The easel is surprisingly well made, light and sturdy. A reasonable price too. A pleasure to transport too. I had no problem painting outdoors with this easel. It will also make an attractive display easel for art or even presentations to a class.
​I would suggest variable support brackets to accommodate smaller panels. However you can get around this with clips or tape to hold a smaller panel in place. A drop-in palette would also make life easier for travelling light.

Whether you're a plein air enthusiast or just need a versatile easel that fits your space and workflow, the KraftGeek Inspire might just become your new favorite tool.
Let me know what you think in the video comments, and happy painting!

I believe in taking a gentle approach to art and creation, rather than forcing it. Filled with pressure, unpleasantness, and expectations, and things that bring so much pressure onto our daily lives. It's something I've tried to escape. I encourage you to do the same through consistency, while being gentle with yourself at the same time.

What is Gentle Consistency?
I'm going to read through a summary or a chapter on this idea about gentle, consistent effort. What is that all about? Progress in our art and creativity isn't about grand gestures or fleeting bursts of inspiration. It's simply about showing up day after day with patience and kindness towards yourself. This is the essence of gentle consistency, especially when it comes to creativity.

It's not about being relentless or perfect, or pushing with unbridled ambition; it's about steady, honest effort that accumulates over time. Many aspiring artists fall into the trap of waiting for perfect conditions to begin their work. This is the opposite of that person who has this furious ambition to be better all the time. The other person will just wait. Wait for the perfect conditions to arise, and then they'll start. You know, the old New Year's resolutions, state of mind?

Make Real Progress:
They believe that inspiration must strike like lightning before they can create anything meaningful. However, real progress, as we know, comes from small, consistent actions — like a brushstroke on the canvas or a paragraph typed in your document — which eventually become a book. It may seem insignificant at the time and taken in isolation it is, but it becomes powerful when all the pieces are added together. 

What does gentle consistency look like? For example, it's waking up each morning with a quiet commitment to do just one thing, no matter how small it may be.

This one thing will move your project forward. Today, choose your color palette and experiment with color mixing for about ten minutes. Tomorrow, it might be writing one paragraph of your story or sketching a simple pencil study. The key is not to aim for perfection, but to follow the process, taking honest steps each day. The mantra' One small step is still forward' captures this idea.

Small Steps
It reminds us that even tiny efforts matter. They chip away at your doubts. They build momentum gradually, and when approached with patience and without self-judgment, these small steps become part of your ongoing dialogue with your creative work. Many artists have achieved remarkable things, not because they worked tirelessly in spurts, but because they practiced consistent effort over the years. Think of painters who spend 15 minutes each day adding brushstrokes to their canvas, or writers who commit to writing one paragraph every morning before breakfast. Over months and years, these tiny commitments add up into completed projects that are rich with depth and nuance.

Resilience Counts
Now, this approach also fosters resilience. Resilience against setbacks. And they're going to happen; it's not about avoiding them, but rather how you respond to them. When you focus on doing just one thing today, such as a single line or a single color, you reduce overwhelm and avoid burnout. You recognize that every moment spent creating counts, even if it's only for ten minutes or half an hour before other demands take your attention.

Kindness First
It's essential to understand that gentle consistency isn't about rigid discipline; it's about kindness to yourself as you work through your creative journey. Some days will be easier than others. Some mornings will bring more energy than others. What matters most is returning tomorrow with no guilt or shame about yesterday. You might wonder how this principle applies when facing larger goals and completing an entire novel or mastering a new skill like watercolor painting. The answer lies in breaking these big ambitions into smaller daily actions.

Align these actions with your overall vision. For example, write one scene per week, rather than obsessing over finishing chapters in one night. Practicing a few new brush techniques over a few weeks instead of trying to learn it all in one day. In practice, implementing gentle consistency requires setting realistic intentions rooted in self-awareness. You must recognize your natural rhythms.

Is morning best for you? Do evenings inspire reflection and a calm, creative mood? So adjust your daily commitments accordingly. And as you become more aware of your natural rhythms for creativity, this everyday process will become more sustainable and won't be a burden anymore. Another crucial element is to celebrate the small victories and acknowledge progress, rather than fixating on what remains undone.

Never Seek Praise
Every completed sketch, every improved sentence serves as proof of a steady payoff for your efforts. So do not expect others to understand either. They have their own issues to deal with. Do not seek validation before taking your next step. This is disempowering to yourself and unfair to others.

Move forward. Praise is a bonus and accept it when it happens, but don't count on it; just keep moving forward. Adopting this mindset also means letting go of perfectionism. The sneaky voice inside that whispers this isn't good enough.

Whenever you create something imperfectly or incompletely, remember that quality develops through regular practice, and mastery grows out of repeated effort made without judgment. So here are some ways to cultivate gentle consistency in your creative day. Start small by choosing one manageable task each day related to your project. Be patient.

Understand that progress may be slow and inconsistent. Just keep persisting, show kindness, avoid harsh criticism when things don't go perfectly, and don't react. If somebody else doesn't immediately acknowledge or understand what you are doing, track your habits.

Patience and Keeping Records
Keep simple records, such as marking the days you create to see how patterns emerge and celebrate milestones. Recognize that even minor achievements are evidence of your progress forward. These practices reinforce trust in yourself and help build sustainable routines rooted in compassion rather than pressure. Ultimately, creating consistently in a gentle fashion is an act of self-respect and faithfulness to your dreams. It recognizes that change doesn't happen overnight, but through persistent commitment grounded in kindness, it will take your dreams forward and make them a reality.

Isn't this a much better way than looking back with regret one day? So remember this truth. No step is too small when taken regularly, with intention, and over time, those steps lead towards becoming more fully. Yourself. As an artist, writer, or whatever creative undertaking you are following, every honest effort adds value on its terms.

With gentle consistency, you'll find joy amid the process. The quiet hour behind all lasting achievements begins here. The simple acts done kindly today so you can ripple outward into tomorrow's potential. So if we learn anything from those who have gone before us, it's this. Greatness often begins quietly.

Inconsistent effort given patiently day after day, and grows beyond expectation through unwavering commitment. Start this morning with one task and see where that leads you. Set a reminder in your calendar so that you develop this good habit. And I wish you good luck, make a start, enjoy it, and be grateful for the opportunity you have. Let me know if you'd like to hear more of these chapters in the coming weeks.

Your story as well, how you have dealt with trying to become a better artist, or even starting, if you've never done this sort of thing before.

​What should I look for when choosing a titanium white oil paint as a beginner?
When you're starting out, it's important to choose a titanium white oil paint that offers good coverage and is easy to work with. Look for paints that have a high pigment concentration, as this will give you vibrant colors with less waste. Brands like Maimeri and Gamblin are great options because they provide a balance of quality and affordability. Also, consider the paint's drying time and consistency; a paint that is too thick may be difficult to blend, while one that is too thin might not provide the coverage you need.

How do I properly use titanium white oil paint in my artwork?
Using titanium white oil paint is straightforward, but there are a few tips to keep in mind. Start by mixing it with other colors to create lighter shades or to achieve the desired opacity. You can apply it directly from the tube for a bold white, or thin it with a medium for a more transparent effect. Remember to use a palette knife or brush that suits your style, and always clean your brushes thoroughly after use to maintain their quality. Remember that titanium white is a cool pigment so too much will reduce the warmth and vibrancy of colors. Use sparingly.

Is it worth investing in higher-priced titanium white oil paints?
Investing in higher-priced titanium white oil paints can be beneficial, especially if you're serious about your art. Higher-quality paints, like those from Williamsburg or Gamblin, often have better pigment quality, which means they mix well and provide more vibrant colors. They also tend to have better lightfastness, ensuring your artwork stays true over time. However, if you're just starting out, you might want to try more affordable options first to see what works best for you before making a larger investment.

Wrapping Up
In summary, investing in quality Titanium White oil paints can greatly enhance your painting experience. The Maimeri Classico offers excellent value for beginners, while Gamblin provides a slightly higher-end option without breaking the bank. For those looking for professional quality, Williamsburg is a fantastic choice. By choosing any of these options, you can ensure that your artwork remains vibrant and true to color, allowing your creativity to shine.

Imagine it: a mild-mannered 19th-century artist strolls into a field, sets up a makeshift easel, pulls out tubes of paint (a newfangled invention!), and starts furiously dabbing at a canvas under the open sky. Birds chirp. Farmers stare. Someone clutches their pearls. Painting outdoors? Absurd. Revolutionary. Downright risky!
Yet, this single act—dragging the studio outdoors—was about to change the course of art history.

​The Greatest Painting Revolution:
France, the country that brought us revolutions in society from ousting the monarchy, to style and cuisine appropriately brought us the painting movement that is arguably the most enduring revolution of all.

Artists like Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and later Vincent van Gogh embraced plein air painting, capturing light, atmosphere, and movement in ways no one had seen before. No stiff, lifeless compositions—just vivid, breathing landscapes, painted in real-time. Impressionism was born.

And guess what? It never went out of style.

Fast forward to today, and plein air painting is as exciting and essential as ever. It’s not just for seasoned artists or those blessed with a romantic cottage in Provence. It’s for everyone—including you!
​
That’s why I created my Plein Air Painting for Beginners course—to help artists of all levels move their painting outdoors in a simple, step-by-step way.

​🧘‍♂️ It’s deeply rewarding – Few things compare to finishing a painting right there on location, surrounded by the scene you just captured. It’s part meditation, part creative thrill.
​
🚀 It makes you a better painter, fast – Studio work is great, but plein air teaches you speed, simplification, and decision-making—skills that translate to any kind of painting.

​How This Course Will Take You from Backyard Sketcher to Confident Plein Air Painter
The Plein Air Painting for Beginners course is designed for anyone who wants to take their painting outdoors, step by step. No pressure, no impossible challenges—just a fun and supportive journey that gets you painting with confidence.

• How to simplify a scene (so you don’t end up painting every single leaf)
• Understanding values and light before jumping into color

🔹 Module 2: Your First Outdoor Paintings (Week 2)

• Start in the comfort of your own space—patio, garden, balcony

• Painting movement, atmosphere, and shifting light

🔹 Module 4: Traveling with Your Art & Studio Refinement (Week 8)

• Bringing work back to the studio to refine without losing energy
• Full-circle painting process—from sketch to final piece

By the end of this course, you’ll have the confidence to set up anywhere, paint fearlessly, and create artwork full of life.
​
Why Plein Air Painting Isn’t Just a Phase
Some trends in art come and go (neon landscapes, anyone?), but plein air painting has never faded. Why?
Because it’s limitless.

Impressionists proved that art could be spontaneous, emotional, and full of color. Van Gogh painted in swirling, passionate strokes that still shake us today. And plein air artists everywhere continue to push boundaries.

This isn’t just a technique—it’s a way of seeing and experiencing art. It’s about stepping outside, soaking in the world, and letting your brush do the talking.

And the best part? Anyone can do it.

So if you’ve ever thought about trying plein air painting—or if you want to take your skills further—this course is for you.
