Monday, 3:00 pm
February 8 – March 1 | Ages 16-99+
Class:
One of the biggest challenges students face when it comes to making a painting, is where to start and in what order to do things. In this 4-week class, we will complete a series of exercises that will help you discover different techniques and painting processes to give you those first steps.
What You’ll Learn:
In a step-by-step group learning environment, students will learn new painting techniques such as keeping an organized palette to avoid muddying up our colors, using a palette knife to mix colors, how to use different types of brushes, glazing, gradient blending, control and detail practice, and MORE!
What You’ll Leave With:
By the end of the course you will have the confidence and knowledge of working in the medium of oil painting, and the skill set of how to create a work of art using oil paints.
