A Place to Start: Oil Painting for Beginners
Did the big box of crayons make you swoon?
Do you love to decorate your home with items that you’ve made yourself?
Do you admire art in galleries and think to yourself that you could make a great painting if you just knew how to start?
Do you long to carve out some time for yourself to reclaim the creativity and joy you had as a child, but feel a little unsure of where to begin?
Is the art supply store overwhelming?
Does oil paint sound intimidating because of clean up questions?
Do you wonder which of your vacation snapshots would make a beautiful painting?
Do you already dabble in oil paint, but wonder if you’re doing it the “right” way?
Are you a teen or pre-teen looking to build your portfolio for college or high school?
If the answer is yes to any of these, this class is definitely for you! I’ll show you where and how to begin with oil paints and introduce you to my personal painting process. These skills can be used again and again with any subject matter that you like. I truly believe that anyone can learn to paint! It’s not magic- it’s just a set of skills that you practice to get the results you want.
This spring I finally conquered my “being on camera” jitters and spilled 20 years of professional painting secrets just for you! My very first class is called A Place to Start: Oil Painting for Beginners, and I share everything from the oil painting supplies that I love (and where you can skimp and save your money), how to cultivate safer painting practices (solvent free anyone!?) and professional design secrets that I use to create my own art every day (What the heck makes a good composition anyway?).
You’ll learn how to pick a great source photo for your painting, compositional secrets that set you up for success, how to mix colors without wasting paint, how to use different kinds of brushes in your work, how to store extra paint on your palette and lots more!
Because this is my first online class ever, I’m releasing a beta version to a handful of folks. This price point won’t be available long so snag your spot today!
