OIL PAINTING FOR BEGINNERS TO INTERMEDIATE ARTISTS
CYCLE 6 : 9/21/2026 TO 11/1/2026
THURSDAY WITH INSTRUCTOR SAMUEL STRAUSS
2 TO 5 PM
 
Learn the fundamentals of traditional oil painting in a relaxed and supportive studio setting. Students will explore underpainting, color mixing, light and shadow, glazing, and composition while working from still lifes and reference images. Through demonstrations and individual guidance, you'll develop stronger painting skills and a better understanding of how professional artists build successful paintings. Beginners are welcome, and more experienced students will be encouraged to work at their own level.
