Whether you’re new to oil painting, coming back to it after a break, or just want to re-focus your techniques, this class is for you! Kicking off a hands-on exploration of color mixing, learning best practices for safe handling, and becoming familiar with common materials and mediums, we will build our knowledge of oil’s various applications and historical techniques. 

Beginner students: drawing experience is preferred since students will be doing some painting from life. If you’ve never touched oils before, you’ll be perfectly fine. 

By the end of this course, you’ll be handling paint like a pro and have a few finished pieces to show off. 

This will be a traditional class with demonstrations and hands-on learning.

See Supply List for required materials.
