In this fundamental oil painting course, you will learn to stretch, prime, and tone canvas, work
with a tonal underpainting, mix a full spectrum of colors with limited and full palettes, employ a
variety of brush and palette knife effects, and use glazing medium. Over the course of the class,
you complete three progressively more complex still life paintings, each designed to improve
your comprehension of still life and oil painting techniques. The instructor begins each class with
a short lecture/demonstration and devotes the remainder of class time to individual instruction.
