OILS

INTRODUCTION TO OIL PAINTING - 4 WEEKS

CA$140.00 - CA$185.00

Oil Paint is personally my favourite and an amazingly beautiful paint to work with, but most people are very worried about trying it due to the confusion with all the stuff that goes along with it - and it's reputation for toxicity. Oil paint itself is not toxic, it is the solvents that are sometimes used that are toxic.I am going to simplify all that complicated lingo about oil painting and teach you how to avoid using solvents so that you can paint safely and experience the immense pleasure of painting with oils. You will be working in the 'ALLA PRIMA' style with a focus on understanding tonal values and how to keep your paints from becoming muddy.


Prerequisite: None

You will learn the difference between alla prima work and glazing work, learn how to create an underpainting, continue to work on your colour mixing, analyze colour palettes, and explore how mediums work when oil painting.
