In this course I will show you how to digitally paint a simple still life using the free open source software Krita. I will demonstrate some of my techniques to create an "alla prima" style painting (a painting technique in which a canvas is completed in one session).

I will also demonstrate how you can take a simple painting or plain painting and give it a more organic appearance by adding a photographic texture overlay. It sounds complicated but is quite simple.

I highly encourage you to get your hands on a drawing tablet. You can start out with an inexpensive tablet for as little as $40. You will also need patience and a willingness to make mistakes.
