About this Event
Learn the basics of abstract painting with oils and compatible abstract methods, including R&F Pigment Sticks and Cold Wax Medium!
In this class, we'll discover why oil paints are a favorite among many artists. There are so many options for creating abstracts with oils.
We will focus on tubed oil paint, R&F Pigment Sticks, and the Gamblin Sampler Kit that includes our texture-making mediums like alkyd, solvent-free gel, and cold wax medium.
We will explore how to:
- use oil paint & layering
- clean up oil paint ... the solvent-free way
- paint without a brush & unusual tools
- mix colors
- create interesting textures
- incorporate mixed media
- build strong compositions
Students will get to practice our weekly lessons with hands-on exercises with guidance, peer interaction, and 1-on-1 feedback from the instructor.
Walk away with 16 small paintings on paper and a stronger confidence in your color and composition skills.
**IMPORTANT NOTE**
We want to keep this course as odorless and toxic-free as possible. Please no mineral spirits or turpentine.
