Date(s): Tuesday, October 20, 2020
Time(s): 7:00 - 9:00pm
A 'take the mystery out of...' workshop designed to explain and walk through steps involved in starting and working on an oil painting. This entry level workshop will cover: materials; choosing and preparing a surface; basic drawing transfer techniques; an overview of the layer painting process; studio safety.
Note: This is not a painting class, as much as it is a guide to get started with some of the more complex questions answered before beginning. Hands-on will include preparing a pre-gesso'd surface, through to the point of painting the first layer of an illustration.
