Oil Painting: Individual Creations with Veronica Zak

Date: Thursday, July 29th 2021

Times: 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Cost: $50 with no supplies included / $65 with supplies included



Class description

The fourth and final class in our four-part series to get you comfortable using oil paints in all  their glory! In this class we will be using the techniques we have learned so far to delve into our  own preferred styles by starting and possibly finishing our own individual creations. Come ready  with a photo reference on your phone, tablet or printed out that you’d like to use in this class. I  will go over with each of you individually how best to proceed, and help you along the way with  tips and tricks.  

Consider the class length when choosing the size of your canvas and the complexity of your  composition. If you have paints at home you could use to finish your painting at a later date, all  the better! At this point if you don’t own some oil paints already, you might be ready to get  some so that you can keep enjoying them outside of our classes.
