Solvent Free Oil Painting
Instructor Victoria Brzustowicz
6 week Class $179
Mondays 6:00-8:00 $179 July 13th-Aug 17th
There is no daytime Oil painting over the Summer
Course Description:
In this class we’ll explore materials, fundamentals, and best practices of oil painting, with an emphasis on direct or “alla prima” techniques. Color mixing and creating a range of colors from a limited palette will be taught. For students with previous experience in color mixing, a more complex palette will be used. Paint from your own sketches, photos, or studio still life. We’ll have demos in each class that will cover various topics such as various ways to start an oil painting, oiling out, stretching a canvas, preparing a panel, glazing, and varnishing.
- Supply List:
- If you already have oil paints, please bring them to class and we will work with your selection. If you don’t have supplies, here is the minimum to get started!
- Paints
Napthol Red (or equivalent) –
Ultramarine Blue –
Hansa Yellow Light (or equivalent)
Titanium White - Surfaces
Canvas panel or gessoed panels in a variety of sizes, preferably 11 x 14 and smaller. Since we will be working alla prima, aim for smaller sizes if possible. 8x 10 is wonderful.Brushes: a least one of each, not too small! (4-6). We will discuss the individual marks that each type of brush makes, and you can add to your collection as you go.
