Enhance your painting skills with Oolite Arts' Painting with Acrylic or Oil course, a 4-week series ideal for beginners and intermediate students who want to learn from scratch or improve their painting skills through a step-by-step process. Classes cover color combination, form, texture, composition and the use of brushes as well as other painting tools.
Beginners will focus on understanding and mixing colors, color combination, proper use of brushes and composition. Painting projects include a landscape, a still life and/or a portrait using painting reproductions as a visual reference to compare color mixing. Beginner level students will also work on precise strokes using the right amount of paint in the brush as well as getting the hang of spontaneous and decisive brush strokes.
Advanced students will delve into expanding their visual vocabulary and technical skills to improve their work. Each student will be encouraged to express their style and explore painting techniques through various conventional and unconventional composition methods. Individual instruction, demonstrations and exercises will assist each artist in developing a unique body of work.
Materials are not included in the workshop fee. Depending on whether you choose to focus on acrylic or oils, different course materials are required. See Oolite Arts' course description for details on materials.
