Oil Painting

All grades welcome.

Oil paint is a medium that is almost synonymous in the public mind with the idea of fine art and painting. Any artist working in oil paint is able to draw on centuries of tradition, technique and cultural capital. The great masters of the Western Tradition – Titian, Leonardo, Rembrandt, Delacroix - worked in oils. Oils offered an intensity and unprecedented luminosity of color.  In this course, students will learn traditional oil painting skills that include blending, adding tones and depth, and mixing colors while emulating works of the masters.
