    This short course covers the mechanics of making a painting: what do I need; what brands of paint; what kinds of brushes, canvas, solvent; what are the characteristics of oil paint? What do I want to paint – and how do I lay in the paint? When and how do I use a “medium,” and when should I varnish? Oil paint is patient. Its creamy, slow-drying qualities give the student maximum time to study the process and make decisions about what comes next. Discussion and/or demo at the beginning of each session explains the assignment and also helps the student learn to see as an artist sees, as this sensuous medium opens up the world of painting. Supply list available.
