Drawing & Painting
NEW | Beginning Oil Painting
This class is designed for those interested in learning the timeless art of oil painting. Artists love oil paints for their rich colors, durability, and their slow drying time, which allows plenty of time to work on a painting. In this class we will go through the basics of oil painting, from choosing your materials, color studies and theory, blending, creating glazes and washes, painting shadows, and creating contrast and texture in your paintings. The goal of this class is to learn to create your own paintings whatever style you choose to paint in. Supplies will be discussed on the first day of class and a supply list will be sent after registration.( See photo above)
