Teaching artist: Kris Roba

Expand your artistic vision and growth by learning the fundamentals of the oil painting medium. This course focuses on understanding essential materials and techniques. We'll begin with learning to see forms and values in the shapes of simple objects. After drawing onto a canvas, we will sketch directly in oil and develop a tonal underpainting to understand light and shadow. Students will also have the opportunity to paint more complex paintings such as landscapes with guilded instruction and demonstrations. Artists are encouraged to develop their skills and confidence to be able to create one piece from their imagination that creates a personal connection to their work. They’ll learn about essential tools, medium handling, and proper palette setup, while mastering color mixing and matching using water mixable oil paints. All materials included.

No class on 11/25.
