Oil Painting - Blocking In
Blocking in is a technique used to quickly establish the basic shapes, composition, and colour structure of a painting. This early stage focuses on defining light and dark areas with broad, simplified forms before refining details.
Using larger brushes and a limited colour palette, artists can map out their painting and make adjustments before committing to finer details. Blocking in is an effective way to maintain strong compositions and faster workflows. Learn how to plan your painting using this essential technique.
