Develop an in-depth understanding of color theory using oil paint, one of the most time-honored art media in the western tradition. We’ll explore the theory and test it out through practical application. Knowledge of color theory is critical for artists working in any medium, so you’ll benefit from this class even if you’re not a painter.

  • Drawing skills highly recommended.

    This class counts as a core class in our Art League Certificate Program.
