In this painting process video I paint a small oil study on LANA Vanguard paper.🎨 The great thing with this paper is that you don’t have to prime it as it is made out of plastic. Although this makes it very slick it also allows for amazing brush textures. The study is painted alla prima and took me only about 2 hours so this video is great for everyone who doesn’t have much time but still wants to get some painting done!
As always this video comes with a material list, reference photo and sketch to print out! 😊

In this full-process painting video, you can watch me creating a reinterpretation of Gustav Klimt’s “Pallas Athene”. I used watercolors, color pencils, and gouache for this watercolor and mixed media painting. Klimt’s art is known for its heavy use of gold and precious materials, so I incorporated lots of golden watercolor paint in my artwork as well. This video shows the entire painting process from start to finish, and you can see how I painted the intricate background patterns, as well as one of the tigers, her shiny helmet, and of course, the portrait itself. The video comes without a voiceover, but you can learn a lot by observing and creating your own study. You can download my reference photo, a hi-res scan of my painting, my material list, and my sketch, which you can print out and with which you can follow along at your own pace.
