Oil Painting and Color Theory for Beginners

Anabel Hadad

Learn the materials, techniques, and concepts of oil painting. Preparation, color mixing, oil paint media, safety, concept development, and technique will be covered, with an emphasis on retaining personal expression. Through demonstrations, examples, and one-on-one guidance, students will leave with a better understanding of oil painting and how to implement color theory to facilitate self expression. Model fee included. BEG-NOV $175

Student Supply List

  • Gamsol or Turpenoid (no less than 4 oz, from personal experience I find the 16 oz to be more than enough for 8 weeks
  • 2 to 4 small glass jars (I like recycling jelly or sauce containers)
  • Galkyd (nomore than 8 oz is needed)
