Have you ever wanted to try painting and don’t know where to begin?  Perhaps you’ve dabbled a bit or drawn before, and you’re ready to jump on in.  Now’s the time!  All levels welcome!  In this class, we offer demos designed to acquaint you with the first steps in oil painting, so you can build upon a foundation of confidence.  We start with one color, allowing you to draw the lights and darks with your paintbrush and add light as you go,  proceeding into a limited palette and attain basic painting skills.   Please bring a sketchbook and pencils to the first class, we provide a demo and thorough presentation of all materials on the first day.
