LLART 76 - Beginning Oil Painting

Join us to explore the nuances and beauty of oil painting! If you have little to no experience with oil paint, or if you're looking for a refresher, this class is for you. We'll break down the entire process of painting with oil and learn concepts such as color theory, composition, value, and art history as it applies to your process. You'll also learn what materials are needed and how to get set up. You'll watch demonstrations of the techniques used to apply paint, then put those techniques into practice. Our exercises will become more complex each week, culminating with your choice of painting project to be completed by the end of the course. You will receive individual attention and critique during each class and walk away with a finished piece and the skills and techniques you need to paint a variety of subjects.
