Exploring Oils - The Value of VALUE
Saturday, July 20, 2019 10a-12pm
Have you always wanted to try oil painting, but didn't quite know where to start? Now you can start at ArtLab!
Join Patricia Sweet as she leads a special painting experience for first time painters to intermediate artists. The class will focus exclusively on value and light effect, two important building blocks for any project!
Students will learn to:
- mix a “string” of gray values using only white and black paint
- see value in a landscape
- apply the oil paint to canvas, recreating what you see
- block in the painting
- add subtle details to bring the painting to life
All materials provided, no experience necessary. We recommend wearing clothing that can get dirty.
Note: Students who also enroll for Patricia's "Exploring Watercolor" from 1-3p will receive a free gift on the day of class! There will be a lunch break from 12-1pm. Enjoy one of our neighboring eateries, or bring a lunch to enjoy in our living room area while we set the classroom for "Exploring Watercolors."
