Oil Painting in the Park

Enjoy summer painting outdoors with an immediate and direct approach to oil painting.  Alla prima methods will be offered. Students will learn how to build an oil painting within 2-3 hours for the purpose of oil sketching in the landscape and to learn a fast approach of working with oils. Students will produce one small oil painting per class during the six sessions.  They encourage bringing their cameras in case they would like to record what they are painting for future use.
