This foundational painting class is designed for absolute beginners. You will start with the basics of oil painting, covering essential materials like paints, grounds, supports, mediums, and brushes. The course includes guidance on selecting and using these supplies through classroom demonstrations and exercises. Students will begin with black-and-white value studies, progress to grisaille studies, warm/cool studies, limited palette work, and ultimately advance to full-color painting. Both direct and indirect methods of oil painting will be explored.
