Intro to Oil: Still Life (Tuesdays 9-12am)
Whether new to oil, or returning to an old love, fear not! This mini class is about best practices for your gear and your game. You’ll be equipped with good habits of setting up your materials as well as strategies to approach to the canvas from first to last stroke. Still life studies will be used for our practice as we paint from observation each week.
Advanced Still Life: Brushwork (Tuesdays 1-4pm)
The “touch of the brush” is like the icing on the cake. Beautiful marks energize simple studies and animate inanimate objects. These three weeks provide still life scenarios designed for the opportunity to push variety in your brushwork. Warm-up exercises with paint viscosity and mark making related to examples of artists with excellent “touch” will precede each session in which we will make painted studies from life.
Prior experience with oil paint and oil instruction required for this class.
