Oil Painting Open Paint
March 4, 11, 18 and 25
Tuesdays, 6:00 - 8:00 pm
This class is oil painting and drawing lessons for students 14 and over, mixed adults and teens.
If you are a new student, plan on spending your first class getting to know your oil color palette and completing a color wheel.
After the first session, students work on their own pieces at their own pace. Most paintings require a minimum of three classes to complete.
You can work from your photo reference or one of mine. See the BLOG page on the website for helpful tips and reference images.
Please email me a copy of the image you would like to work from, your skill level, and anything in particular you are interested in learning.
An iPad or laptop works best for viewing your images. Printed photos work as well.
Wear old clothes as oil paint stains. You will be added to the student newsletter, so check your junk email if you don't receive it.
All supplies are provided, but please feel free to bring your favorite paintbrushes. We paint on canvas, but Ampersand Boards are available for an additional charge.
