Session | Available

Unleash your inner artist with Oil Painting: Basics & Beyond! From innovations in color approaches to novel painting methods, this course is your shortcut to canvas perfection.

In this six-week class, we traverse a spectrum of ideas and processes, including the ‘essence’ technique, inspired by French painters Degas and Lautrec, then dive into the mesmerizing world of dots and dabs to uncover the secrets of the iconic Pointillist technique, and channel the spirit of Seurat. Get ready to brush up on your skills and paint the town red, yellow, blue, and every hue in between! 

  • This class meets in our lower-level studio.

  • Limited to 9 students.
