Foundations of Oil Painting
November 7, 2022 @ 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
$285.00Presented by Arts Escape in Southbury, this class guides you through a straight-forward process based on Classical Drawing & Painting Principles to develop an oil painting from its inner foundation to its surface color. You’ll learn how to create the illusion of round forms in deep and luminous space from a flat surface through tonal contrasts and the Language of Color.
You’ll see how to mix the three essential color palettes of Red/Green, Orange/Blue, and Yellow/Violet from the primaries: Yellow, Red, Blue, plus White. Then after practicing on a series of small color studies, you’ll create a final painting based on a palette of your choice and a solid foundation of skills to give you a beautiful, completed work.
