About this class
Oil paint dries slowly and blends easily, making it well suited to still life painting where you need time to adjust edges and mix subtle color transitions. This introduction teaches you to prepare your palette, thin paint to different consistencies for blocking in and detailing, and build a still life composition from a simple arrangement of objects on a table. The instructor demonstrates the fat-over-lean principle and explains how to clean your brushes and store your work between sessions.
