Translate your drawing mastery into the world of color. This session introduces students to the art and chemistry of oil painting.

  • Underpainting & Value: Start with a Grisaille (monochrome) to ensure your painting has depth and "pop" before color is ever touched.

  • The Limited Palette: Master professional color mixing without the "mud." Learn how to mix realistic flesh tones and vibrant still-life colors.

  • Edge Control: Learn the professional secret of "Lost and Found" edges to create a sense of atmosphere and focus.

  • Outcome: One finished oil still life and one finished oil portrait from a live model.
