Class Description

In this course, you will learn how to work with and manipulate oil paints and different techniques for this classical medium. Together we will build and stretch our own canvases and learn how to prepare our solvents and set up a palette. Choose a painting you would like to create a master copy of, and you will gain the skills to recreate your favorite work of art from start to finish.

Required Supplies

- Several printouts of your chosen painting that you would like to make a master copy of, a couple in color and one in black and white. Also, you don’t have to copy the entire painting, you can also do a detail shot from your chosen artwork.
