Discover the rich and expressive medium of oil painting in this introductory course designed for beginners and enthusiasts alike. Students will be introduced to traditional indirect painting techniques, taking a painting from a grisaille (monochromatic underpainting) through glazing and scumbling, to a finished work. Students will leave with a finished painting, as well as a basic understanding of this oil painting technique, composition, and color theory.
Dates: 9:30 AM - 12 PM ET on Tuesdays: 9/10, 9/17, 10/1, 10/8, 10/15
