September 23, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
$30 – $40Oil paint offers a gorgeous, luminous depth- but many beginning and intermediate level artists worry about introducing solvents and mediums as well as working in this slow drying medium. Worry no more!
I have over 20 years of teaching experience, from casual to university to professional artists. In this workshop, I will guide you over the bridge into working with oils, referencing a very simple still life. We will cover oil painting fundamentals & techniques, including:
Safe practices, including low odor solvent options, and how to clean up responsibly
Underpainting, layering, blending, & glazing
Mediums & building texture
Finishing & protecting oil paintings
This workshop is designed to take the mystery out of working with oils, and show how easy it can be to get started! Open to any experience level. Participants can follow along and give techniques a try with their own materials, or just watch and enjoy the process! Time will be given for questions and conversation.
Duration: Class is usually 90 minutes but may run longer depending on the number of participants. Class will consist of live demonstrations with students working along with the instruction. There will be time for questions and answers.
