Introduction to Oil Painting

Anyone can learn how to paint! In this course, students of all skill levels will learn how to render the objects they see with accuracy and confidence while developing their own artistic expression. We will begin by learning how to draw objects from life using a block-in-method. We will discuss shading, proportion, value, color, and composition. Students will then construct a Grisaille (black and white painting). We will then move on to painting a still life in color. The valuable techniques learned in this class can be used to paint any object including portraits, and landscapers. List of materials (oil paints, brushes, and canvases) will be provided after your registration is confirmed.
