Professor Ricky Allman.

Lecturer: Ricky Allman, University of Missouri-Kansas City.

Since the earliest days of human society, we have been painters. Lining ancient cave walls, the oldest known paintings in the world date back over 50,000 years. Despite the fact that painting is such an integral part of human civilization, many people feel intimidated by the medium. Like drawing, creative writing, or musical performance, the ability to paint is a skill that can be learned and refined over time, by anyone. In the 24 lessons of How to Paint, taught by award-winning artist and professor Ricky Allman of the University of Missouri-Kansas City, you will learn how to select your tools and apply techniques, as well as develop the visual skills and muscle memory that make painting an infinitely adaptable form of artistic expression. From understanding your painting surface and which brushes to use to utilizing reference images and learning the proper way to layer oil paint, Professor Allman leads you step by step through hands-on demonstrations. By honing your observational skills and stretching your imaginative capacity, painting can quite literally help you see the world differently.
