This is an oil painting class for all levels, from the beginner painter up to advanced. The student will participate and develop their painting skills through creative and technical approaches. They will learn to make great choices during the process of conceptualizing their photo reference. Color mixing and brush application will be discussed, as well as composition and finding light in a visual image and painting it. The student can choose their own winter photograph to work on, or choose one of several images that I will provide.
Group critiques will be explored and encourage as you go.
Materials will be provided but will ask you to bring several of your own paint brushes.
