Oil Painting

This class is designed for portrait, figure, and still life painters. Beginning students with previous drawing experience are welcome. These students will develop control of color, value, form, and composition, while learning proper oil painting techniques. Intermediate and advanced students will explore more advanced compositional elements, work with complex color and paint-application techniques, and focus on completing finished work. The class emphasizes the importance of individual expression and the expansion of personal style. Portrait and figure painters work with both portrait and nude models, and still-life painters are encouraged to compose their own still-life subjects. Model fees are extra and paid by all students.
