This painting class is designed for painters of all levels. Students will learn how to use oil paint, tone a canvas, place a drawing on canvas, and complete a painting. Relax and have fun in our non-judgmental, supportive art class. Enjoy live painting, strategies, technique, and demonstrations.
The basics of painting will be covered: value, color theory, composition, painting techniques, and use of materials.
Each student will work at their own pace and will have personal attention in each class. There will be examples of mixing techniques, value, glazing, lighting objects, and use of materials to set up a still life. Discussions on landscape, portrait painting, realism, and other styles. Open discussion of painting is encouraged. Barbara has taught painting classes and workshops for over 20 years as a painter of portraits, still life and landscapes.

Oil paint will be used in all demonstrations because of their versatility. Oil paint can be used on a variety of surfaces and have many different application techniques. We will practice blending linseed oil, and thinning paint. Solvents are a necessity to clean brushes and palette knives. Students may use other mediums if they prefer. Oil paint medium is designed to alter the viscosity, surface finish or drying time of oil paint.
We recommend Blick Art Materials, Michaels, Jerry’s Artarama, and Cheap Joes for purchasing materials. Michaels often has 50% off coupons, and has a good supply of oil paints, brushes, and canvas.
