This is now an online class! New dates!
Using the Zoom video platform, learn the fundamentals of oil painting, starting from the very beginning. Through lectures and class demonstrations/exercises, you will learn step-by-step how to depict light and shade through a value-scheme, how to create desired effects of color, as well as blending tricks to achieve a realistic sense of form. An excellent course for beginners looking to understand painting, both in concept and practice.

Watch this orientation video if you are new to Zoom: https://youtu.be/hIkCmbvAHQQ. You may download and install the Zoom application at any time. We recommend you do this after you enroll in class or at least one day prior to your first online class. Choose the download option that best fits your technology. Unless you will be using an iPad or mobile device, the first option is most likely the one you’ll need.
