About this Event
Find out why oils are actually the easiest painting medium of them all and explore color, value, and composition for beginners!
Beginners will explore topics including studio materials, color mixing, brush techniques, layering, and measuring techniques while painting from photographs in a loose, realistic style.
Students will walk away with a completed painting using a photo reference of their choice!
Perfect for those brand new to oil paint, returning to painting, or an experienced artist looking to add oils to your repertoire.
If you're wanting to repeat this class and take it again, you'll enjoy new perspectives and lessons by one of our three rotating instructors. They are also capable of helping returning students to grow with more Level 2 techniques and feedback.
No drawing experience required. All skill levels welcome.
**NOTE**
We want to be as odorless and toxic-free as possible. Please no mineral spirits or turpentine.
