Canvas Connections: Oil Painting for Beginners
Join us for three Mondays 6-8pm in November to take your painting skills up a notch. The class is open to anyone, especially beginner painters... but we will meet you wherever your skill level is at! Painters will have the independence to choose explorations in figurative painting or abstraction, still life, landscape, or portraiture, while receiving guidance and customized exercises from an RCA instructor. This 3 part course will cover color theory, tools and techniques specific to oil painting, and building confidence in your "finished" piece.
Participants can self-elect to use traditional oil paints and mineral spirit solvents, or water-soluble oil paints. You can learn more about the differences between these materials here. All materials are provided-- your program fee includes a personal Winsor & Newton Oil Paint Set, yours to keep! Ages 18+
Week 1, November 11th: Color Mixing with Oils, Tools and Techniques.
Week 2, November 18th: Starting 2 paintings with complementary underpaintings and how to begin layering.
Week 3, November 25th: How to complete a painting, and developing your style. Select varnishes and how to professionally present your finished work.
