Fundamentals of Oil Painting: Online
Dennis Cheaney | Fall II | Tuesdays: Oct 31 - Dec 5
Class Description:
This course is intended for those students who have taken introductory courses in the past and would like to further develop their studio skills.
Students will learn how to transition from drawing into an oil painting. Through a series of projects, we will work from prints of master works (supplied by teacher) and explore how to apply principles of drawing, light and color mixing. Each class begins with a demonstration or lecture followed by one-on-one instruction. Through email, the instructor will supply all prints of master works, lecture notes and give additional feedback (once per week). Optional homework and outside reading will be assigned so students may work independently to reinforce the concepts from class.
