The classes will last for four weeks. The fee for all four weeks is $40.00 .
The first class will consist of a demonstration showing how to begin an
oil painting. This will include a discussion on elements that make a
painting more pleasing to the eye (composition) , the mixing of colors,
and basic technique .
The art students can bring in a picture or subject that they would
like to paint, a painting already started at home, or they can paint
along with the instructor as he completes the painting over the four
week period. As the painting begins and develops, helpful suggestions
will be made on how to improve the painting.

The first class will consist of a
demonstration showing how to begin an oil painting. This will include a discussion
on elements that make a painting more pleasing to the eye (composition) , the
mixing of colors, and basic technique . The demonstration painting for this
class will be a still life. This should be a great help for your visual
perceptive skills as well as a wonderful lesson in composition. I will set up
and artistically arrange objects to include in the painting. Still lifes can be
exciting.
