MON PM - Intro to Oil Painting

Find out why oils are actually the easiest painting medium of them all and explore color, value, and composition!

Perfect for those brand new to oil paint, returning to painting, or an experienced artist looking to add oils to your repertoire.

If you're wanting to repeat this class, Marina will offer you new lessons suitable for intermediate-level artists.

Explore topics including studio materials, color mixing, brush techniques, layering, and measuring techniques while painting from photographs in a loose, realistic style.

Students will walk away with a completed painting using a photo reference of their choice!
