Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this oil painting class:

This is a super intense, fast moving class. Be prepared to crank out paintings! We will learn how to create volume, light, and sound structure quickly and effectively though oil painting.

Supply List

The brands I prefer are Michael Harding, Old Holland, Windsor Newton, and Sennelier. These are professional grade paints and can be pretty expensive.

Gamblin and Rembrandt brand paints are also decent.

Whatever brand you do choose, do not buy student grade paint. Especially WINTON brand! The reason it is called “student” paint is that it has less pigment to oil ratio. This will be a headache to you, and even though they might be less expensive to purchase, you will end up using more paint, thus saving no money in the long run.

The colors with the asterisk *, means I strongly advise you to buy them. Please make sure you have cad orange OLD HOLLAND and burnt umber OLD HOLLAND.
