Class description
In this class we will cover some basic tips and techniques for oil painting that will get you started comfortably in the medium. Oil has many nuances that can be tricky to discover on your own, so we will go over the dos and don’ts together to make your journey as smooth as can be!
Mixing colors, dealing with a canvas that is wet for days, thinning your paints and cleaning your brushes will all be covered. We will then make a simple painting together so you can leave with something beautiful!
