Studio 2

This 7-week class is designed to provide beginner level painters a solid foundation in the essential skills needed to build a confident and competent oil painting practice. Students will start by learning about safe studio practices and the basic properties of oil pigments and mediums before moving on to lessons on value, edges, composition, color mixing and some basic theory. From there, students will apply these concepts to a variety of projects including still lifes, landscapes, portraits, and master studies. By the end of the quarter, students will have gained confidence in oil paint handling, a solid understanding of basic painting fundamentals in still life, landscape and portrait construction, and a clearer sense of direction for their creative development as oil painters.
