Painting in Oil
A comprehensive beginning oil painting class exploring multiple subjects beginning with a refresh of applied color theory and principles of design. Over four weeks we will work in class from the live model with outside assignments of self-portraiture, interior spaces, and still life subjects. Studio work will be accompanied by weekly image lectures on historical movements from 20th-century modernism to contemporary painting. One previous studio course.
