Class description

The third in our four-part series to get you comfortable using oil paints in all their glory! In this class we will experiment with some fun techniques like underpainting, glazing, using a pallet knife for textures, and scumbling. We will use a practice sheet to see the different effects that these can produce, and learning how to implement them into works of art by making a painting using some new techniques.
