Do you feel overwhelmed by color? In this four-week, step-by-step class, you will be introduced to oil painting by focusing first on value, the light and dark structure behind every strong painting.

You will begin working in black and white to build confidence, then move into a limited color palette once you have established a solid foundation.

This class is designed for absolute beginners and anyone looking for a calm, structured introduction to oil painting.
