Oil Painting, Beginner to Intermediate: Saturdays October 10, 17, 24, & 31; 10:30am-12:30pm

Welcome to Oil Painting: Beginner to Intermediate, a 4-week course that is designed to teach anyone, from beginner to moderate skill level, the fundamentals of traditional process of creating a painting using oil paint. My course is a collection of 2 still life painting projects which is a great introduction to painting still life from life. This will help you to develop your painting and observational skills as well as explore color mixing technics and paint applications by painting a variety of interesting objects and materials.
