Step Into Oil Painting with Confidence and Clarity

Oil Painting is an 8-session course that welcomes artists of all levels (whether you're just getting started or looking to advance your skills.) With a flexible, individualized approach, students will explore classical oil painting techniques through the grisaille method, warm and cool color theory, and limited palette painting. Beginners may focus on foundational exercises like black-and-white value studies, while more experienced students will dive into more complex topics such as temperature shifts and color harmony, but all within the same supportive class setting.

Each student will receive personalized instruction and assignments tailored to their experience and goals. Students work through drawing, underpainting, layering, and refinement at your own pace, with guidance on materials, technique, and visual thinking. The course offers structure and growth whether you're learning to see value for the first time or refining your command of color and form.
