Course Overview

This course will explore technical aspects of painting in oil or acrylic with a study of composition, colour, mixing practice and observation. Getting started with oil painting can be daunting as understanding the materials and processes is essential in helping you to achieve a successful painting. This class will guide you through the beginning steps of painting with oil and how to use your materials and respond to different subject matter, helping you to identify a personal toolbox which is best for you.

Working from observation, subject matter will include still life, objects, natural forms and interior spaces. Relevant references to examples of both contemporary and historical works of art will be discussed to introduce concepts relevant to the class activities.
