Painting in Oil or Acrylic
Adult Class | This program is completed
Learn how to paint like the Old Masters. This course is designed for students who are interested in learning different painting techniques from the Renaissance Era. You will learn how to prime and tone a canvas, together with glazing techniques, multiple layers, and the importance of moving color around the painting with a limited color palette. You will also learn chiaroscuro, which was one of the favorite painting techniques of many Renaissance painters. The painting mediums are optional. You can choose to paint with oil or acrylic, whichever medium you're comfortable with. Keep in mind that both mediums behave differently, and the outcome will be noticeably different.
