The Essentials of Oil Painting: a Northwind Art course
Advertisement
Curious about oil painting but not sure where to start? The Essentials of Oil Painting is a 6-week course, meeting Tuesday afternoons, that introduces you to the vibrant, expressive world of painting in oils. And we do it without toxic solvents! No prior experience is required. Visit https://northwindart.org/collections/courses to find out more and sign up.
Whether you're an artist working in another medium, or completely new to painting, or an oil painter looking to explore the dynamic alla prima technique, this class is for you. You'll start with guided color-mixing exercises to get comfortable handling oils and brushes, while exploring color theory. From there, you'll apply your new skills to still lifes from observation, and then move on to landscapes, learning to work confidently with shape, value, and color in the alla prima style.
Just show up ready to paint, and teaching artist Anne Pfeiffer will guide you! To help you continue learning after the class, you’ll receive a PDF handout with notes, recommended artists, and resources to deepen your oil painting practice.
