Intro to Oil Painting
Advertisement
In this six-week course, you can learn the foundations of oil painting with Molly Fox. You'll find yourself becoming more comfortable with this popular medium as you complete 2–3 finished pieces in this hands-on, beginner-friendly class! Each project is completed over two sessions—one for planning and block-ins, and one for layering and final details.
Throughout the course, we’ll explore essential techniques like alla prima, glazing, and underpainting, plus how to choose and use different mediums for blending, texture, and drying control. We’ll also cover safe studio practices so you feel confident working with oils at home. By the end of six weeks, you’ll walk away with multiple completed paintings and a strong understanding of how to create with oils on your own.
No painting experience required. Ages 18 and up. The cost is $190 for non-members, $160 for members, and includes all materials. Meets Thursdays, 6:00-8:30 pm, starting January 15. To register, visit: http://www.the567center.org/art-classes/
About the instructor:
Molly Fox is a self-taught painter whose dreamy, whimsical style — which she calls whimpressionism — blends emotion, color, and imagination. Living with chronic illness and partial blindness, she creates from a place of deep feeling and quiet resilience. She primarily paints in oil and acrylic, with a growing interest in other mediums like oil pastels and mixed media. Molly has exhibited her work in group shows such as the Small Works Exhibition and Blossom Exhibition at Macon Arts Alliance, as well as the Rainbow Show at Macon ArtSpace. Her first solo show opens in September 2025 at Milledgeville Allied Arts. Molly is also a teaching artist who leads workshops, paint parties, and children’s art events through local creative communities.
