  • Intro to Oil Painting

    Nadia E. • July 2, 2024
    I thought the course was very beneficial for me. Starting with preparing the canvas to using a photograph for the painting, to color selection and color mixes I have learned a lot from our instructor. Our instructor was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. She gave us several tips to paint better. I would recommend this course to anyone who is a beginner in oil painting.
