Class Description

Description

To truly understand how to make the best oil paint, you must first understand the characteristics of each ingredient that is used. Choose from a variety of pigments and oils each with distinctive personalities. There will be options for additives that adjust the properties of your paint: calcium carbonate to add body, cold-wax paste to reduce stringiness, aluminum stearate and tixogel to make paint jelly-like, and sepiolite to prevent oil separation.

This is a great class for anyone wanting to learn how to mix colors. As you'll have a large selection of both opaque and translucent options, this makes it easier to understand how to get vast degrees of mixed tones without first purchasing lots of pigments to get started.

Bring:
  • Pen and paper for notes
  • Apron and dust mask
  • Studio shoes
