Working with an Overcast Light

Below is the Working with an Overcast Light course. It has four sections, each from one of the workshop’s four lessons. There are six steps for you to complete. Please follow the sequence as the steps appear, and everything should go well. You will receive a Certificate of Achievement when you complete all the exercises and have your one/one coaching session.

Please avoid skimming over the instructions. Each step contains a lot of information. A new feature is the ►sign at the beginning of each action you are asked to take.

Be sure to click Mark Complete each time you finish a prompt. This is necessary for the progress bar to advance and for you to receive your certificate once you’ve completed all the work.

To access lessons and steps, click on titles containing a circle to the left.

You will need your painting gear and a painting surface appropriate to your medium for your homework.

Your painting surface should be no larger than 12” x 16”. Otherwise, there will be too much space to manage to keep your attention on working on the lesson’s concept. Beyond this, use the paints and brushes you are most comfortable working with. Dianne intends not to change your choice to hers but to focus on learning one of the best ways to use the course’s concept.

Oil and acrylic painters, because this is an exercise, no stretched canvas, please!

Have fun with it.
