Students can anticipate:
- Primarily oil portraits, background support and content
- Delving into materials prep and how to apply techniques learned via oil painting to other subjects and mediums, such as pastels, watercolor, graphite, etc.
- Gaining an understanding of canvas, how to prepare the ground, all the way through positive ingredients that are compatible with everything it takes to create and finish a work of art
- Art theory will be painlessly introduced and hand-outs will be given over the course of the class, so as to not take away from class painting time
- Color theory and designing the canvas
- Framing
- Ideas on how to get artwork out in public
- …and MORE!
