Session | This program is completed

If you have never tried oil, or want to improve your abilities to handle this beautiful but complex medium, this online course is for you! Basic Oil Painting introduces the essentials: laying out a color palette, best ways to mix colors, matching the colors you see, applying paint with a brush and knife, and how to create effects of form and texture, light and shadow. From buttery impasto to flowing washes, this course will prepare you to take your painting to the next level!

How it works:
Each week, the student receives an instructional PDF worksheet covering a specific topic. The class meets each week Fridays from 10 am to 12 pm via Zoom video conferencing.

  • Zoom meetings at 10 am on Fridays
  • A supply list will be emailed to you when you register. Please contact the office at fineart1012@sbcglobal.net if you'd like to see a supply list in advance of registering.
