Description

Oil painting often carries an air of sophistication. It is true that this medium involves handling certain chemicals that can be hazardous, and it is crucial to avoid eating any paint. However, it serves as an excellent platform for developing an understanding of color, value, and the art of paint manipulation. Its slow drying time, forgiving nature, and visually captivating results make it an appealing choice for beginners. In this class, we will focus on working from still life setups and references to foster a deeper understanding of the interplay between light and shadow, as well as the nuances of hard and soft edges. We will explore vital concepts such as color mixing, hue, and temperature, equipping you with a comprehensive toolkit to approach any subject using oil paint. Whether you are a complete novice, unfamiliar with the stroke of a brush, or an individual seeking to refine your painting skills, this class caters to your current skill level. This is an 8 week long course with the classes being every Wednesday from 6-8pm starting August 2nd and running until September 20th. See our website for more details! http://olylamplighters.com
