Dave Porter’s Art
… sharing my techniques & tips
My passion is to help you to create realistic and soulful artwork. Discover your passion and unlock your artistic potential.
Do you find Oil Painting messy, complicated, frustrating and often wonder how to achieve realism in an easy to follow process without causing any confusion. I have good news! Let me show you a way to mix colours easily using a limited palette (a few colours) which keeps things nice and straightforward and easy to follow.
All the tutorials are in real-time audio and video which really gives you a feeling of how the process works moment by moment. An important element with my process is to open the heart and let go of the mind, which gives clarity in focusing on the here and now.
By Pledging £6 per month… you will unlock all the tutorials on this page plus more that follow each and every month… here is my Oil Painting Library Page where you can navigate back and forth to choose the tutorial you would like to watch.
