This will be a once a week, oil painting class, designed to give a brief overview of what one needs to begin oil painting and set up a practice. It is meant to get people started and level the learning curve. It is also meant to be simplified and welcoming to all levels.
We will be discussing: supplies, set up, value, color, execution, portraiture, landscape, and composition and much more.
This class is meant to bridge the gap between drawing and painting. If you are serious about learning oil, I hope to see you.
