About this Event

Workshop: Intro to Oils (Ages 18+)

Students will gain an introduction to oil paints in this two-session workshop with local artist, Lindsay Mueller. Students will learn about paint mediums, setting up a palette, basic color mixing, and composition with a focus on oils. Students will first complete a series of color-mixing exercises to learn about value, temperature, and intensity. After this, students will have the opportunity to work from a still life to learn how to complete an oil painting from start to finish. Students will leave with an oil painting kit to take home and the skills and resources to continue oil painting! No prior painting or oil paint experience necessary.


Instructor: Lindsay Mueller
