4 Weeks, Mon & Wed, Sept. 8 – Oct. 1, 6-8pm

This expressive oil painting class focuses on developing a versatile and intuitive approach to painting via Alla Prima techniques. We’ll explore simplified methods and a minimal materials list to make oil painting easy and accessible.

The methods we cover will help build a solid foundation in color mixing, value relationships, and expressive mark-making, and achieve a wide range of colors with a very limited paint palette. The goal of this class is not a paint-along, rather an introduction to the fundamentals of painting that will allow students to utilize effective techniques in their own creative projects.
