Oil Painting for All Levels
Painting
In the classroom, we will create oil paintings from your favorite still life and landscape photos. We will explore composition, underpainting, perspectives, color mixing, color harmony, and paint application. The instructor will provide a demonstration at the beginning of every class and instruction throughout. This class emphasizes creativity, exploration, and experimentation rather than technique. While composition, color mixing, perspective, and mark-making will all be considered, learning technique is a by-product of the joyful creation of art. All participants will enjoy the freedom of experimenting with mixed media and surfaces and approaching the edge of abstraction in a friendly, supportive environment. This class is for all levels, including beginners. Student is required to bring materials. A list will be sent upon registration.

Alcohol Ink Painting
Workshops
In this workshop, Dana Haigh will introduce the Alcohol Inks medium to create paintings of free flow of expressions. Alcohol inks are fast-drying and highly pigmented. They flow freely over any non-porous surface and have a mind on their own, allowing for a liberating approach to art and unexpected, spontaneous results. If you are open to just having fun and “going with the flow”, this is the medium for you to explore. Class $40 | Material Fee $35
