About the Event
Do you want to paint in oil, but don't want to work with toxic chemicals or fumes? In this Oil Painting w/Non-Toxic Materials course, you will learn the fundamentals of oil painting while using safe and environmentally friendly mediums and colors. The class is designed to take you step-by-step through the traditional process of oil painting with safe materials so you can build your understanding of this medium (and how to use healthy alternatives to chemicals typically used when painting in oil). We will take 6 weeks to cover the basics, and you will have homework in between to develop your level of comfort and maximize your learning. Each week we will cover new material and work on a class project together to apply what we are learning first hand. By the end of this class you will be ready to paint in oil with confidence and know how to continue your practice at home.Â
