LIFETIME ACCESS

Nature is an endless source of artistic inspiration! Capturing its bright shades, striking contrasts, and extraordinary textures is one of the most interesting, yet quite complex tasks. But with this course, you’ll learn to paint nature easily and effectively!

Together with a recognized artist Nadia Tognazzo, you will study one of the best techniques for painting nature – negative technique. You will be able to lay fast and instinctive brushstrokes, convey volume with light and shadows, and make gorgeous compositions out of separate subjects.

During the course, you will create 3 paintings with different subjects – bindweed flowers, meadow in the mountains, and a tomato plant – in juicy colors, capturing their vital energy!

Nadia Tognazzo was born in 1959 in Milan where she lives and works. She has had a passion for painting since she was a child, but it is with the technique of watercolor that she expresses her true inner self.
Nadia has been a member of A.I.A. (the Italian Association of Watercolour Artists) since 1994. In addition to painting activity, she teaches courses in watercolors in Milan and in the North of Italy and, during the summer, in Dalarna, Sweden.
She has taken part in many exhibitions in Italy and abroad (Barcelona, Brussels, Antwerp, Mexico City, Saint Petersburg, Bilbao, Salonicco, Paris-Salon d’Automne 2006-2007, Ronneby, Stockholm, Leipzig, Aiguillon Lot et Garonne, Agèn, Salamanca, etc).
She was a member of the jury in the biennial international competition “Marche d’Acqua”, Fabriano Watercolour, 2021.
Her painting is mostly figurative but with a decisive intimist tone. Her watercolors show strong emotion expressed through the use of bold instinctive strokes. The search for a balance between emotion, visual synthesis and line is a fundamental part of her artistic expression.
