Lemons: Oil Painting Light and Color Crash Course
“Painting from observation is like focused listening for your eyes”
In this oil painting class, students will receive demonstration and guidance in creating oil paintings of simple yet elegant lemon still lives. This two day workshop will serve as a crash course, featuring exercises designed to cultivate a comprehensive understanding quickly and effectively.
Observational painting is an engaging, tried and true way to learn and have fun while doing so. Alongside some simple yet deliberate tips and pointers, this technical lesson will have students feeling confident, curious and empowered when applying what they’ve learned!
Painters of all experience levels are welcome, as we will review the characteristics of oil paint and how to use it effectively, neatly, and affordably.
