Details: This class is appropriate for those who are beginners and want to learn how to use oil or acyclic paint, but also for those who have some experience painting in oils and acrylics. We will cover topics such as paint mixing, types of painting surfaces, techniques of oil brushes, types of easels, how to store oil palettes, types of brushes or painting tools, and how to use them. The student may bring a subject, photo, idea that they would like to paint, and we will also have a still life available. There will be instructions on basic composition, color use, and color mixing. Students will learn how to start and finish a painting by using these concepts. Individual instruction can be given depending on your experience level. A materials list will be provided so the student can use it to purchase items before class. Bring any current materials you have to the first class, and we can look at them to see if they can be used in class, such as old paint, rags, old canvases, wooden panel boards, brushes etc. This is a relaxed class which promotes asking questions and getting personal instruction. High school age and older are welcome! Email kimyourickart@gmail.com with any questions.
