If you have never tried oil or want to improve your abilities to handle this beautiful but complex medium, this course is for you! Basic Oil Painting introduces the essentials: laying out a 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!

  • This class meets in our lower-level studio.

  • Limited to 9 students.
