This workshop is designed as a basic introduction to oil painting, as well as a refresher course for anyone desiring to try oil painting or sharpen their skills. Oil painting has many wonderful qualities that are not available in other mediums. We will explore many aspects of oils, and students will have a lot of “hands-on” work, with individual attention from the instructor. Some topics that will be covered are:
· Safe handling of materials
· Color mixing and application
· Basic materials needed for oil painting
· Discussion of different solvents, mediums, and varnishes.
· Completing a painting step-by step
This course will be conducted in a fun, eco-friendly environment. My goal is for each student to be more informed and comfortable with oil painting. The oil paints will be supplied to those students who wish at a nominal fee, so they can feel free to experiment without spending too much money to get started.
