Oil Painting Workshop (Session A)
Have you ever wondered about oil paint, but didn’t know where to start? This beginner oriented workshop is open to all levels of experience, guiding participants through the most effective and practical ways of managing and painting with oil paint. Over the course of the evening participants will get the opportunity to push around some deliciously thick oil paint, discover that it’s actually easier to manage than acrylic or watercolor in many cases, and gauge if they’d like to further experience oil paint in the future. We will discuss tools and tricks to make the technical, visual and material aspects oil paint feel like a no brainer!
