Oil Painting for Beginners

About this class

Founded by international artist Donna Maree Wilding, Creatively Wild has been teaching adults in DUMBO since 2009 in a studio under the Manhattan Bridge with a reputation for personalized instruction rather than paint-by-numbers formats. The beginner oil painting class covers color mixing, brush technique, and simple composition, with instructors adapting to each student's creative direction and skill level. Reviewers consistently describe the teaching as genuinely engaging and the atmosphere as encouraging without being competitive.
