Students will study composition, color theory, and will become familiar with the oil medium and materials. If you a beginner, the instructor will take you through your first painting, step-by-step. If you have taken this course before, you will learn additional techniques and develop your own style while using the subject of your choice. Students will also have the opportunity to learn the instructor's own impressionistic style and original technique of knife painting. This is based on the generous application of buttery oils and their manipulation through rapid addition and subtraction of paint using knives and other tools.
