This is a four-session oil painting technique class for everyone from beginners to advanced painters! You will learn how to make a small still-life painting from start to finish using a traditional 19th-century style of painting. The class will cover drawing, color mixing, and how to create a 3D form in your painting. Using a pre-modern technique – finishing as we go – we will learn how to understand and overcome optical illusions when seeing, mixing, and applying paint, and this technique will also allow us to improvise and change our compositions as we go along. All supplies included in the cost of the class. Please enter through the 5th Street Door.
Age: 18+
Teaching Artist: Sarah Bird
Artist Bio: I graduated from The Grand Central Atelier in 2014 – a four-year intensive in traditional realist oil painting techniques. Since that time I have developed my own techniques for painting from life and for improvising compositions. I am currently an MFA candidate at Sierra Nevada University.
Cost: $165 Member / $200 Non-Member
