Oil Painting: Individual Creations with Veronica Zak
Date: Thursday, July 29th 2021
Times: 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Cost: $50 with no supplies included / $65 with supplies included
Class description
The fourth and final class in our four-part series to get you comfortable using oil paints in all their glory! In this class we will be using the techniques we have learned so far to delve into our own preferred styles by starting and possibly finishing our own individual creations. Come ready with a photo reference on your phone, tablet or printed out that you’d like to use in this class. I will go over with each of you individually how best to proceed, and help you along the way with tips and tricks.
Consider the class length when choosing the size of your canvas and the complexity of your composition. If you have paints at home you could use to finish your painting at a later date, all the better! At this point if you don’t own some oil paints already, you might be ready to get some so that you can keep enjoying them outside of our classes.
