Portrait Oil Painting. Next class is this Monday 8/28 @5:30pm.
Installing drywall is useful and all, but how often to do create something solely for the sake of art? Learn to create realism while listening to your intuition, and expressing yourself freely with Jen Starling (@jenstarlingart)! All skill levels are welcome from total beginner to advanced.
During this three hour class we will go through the step by step process of completing an oil portrait. We will use a reference photo that I will send you. We will focus on correct proportions, composition, and paint application. You will watch me paint, work on your painting, and receive feedback. You will be encouraged to find your personal creative voice, listen to your instincts, and play!
Why take an art class like oil painting? You’ll get a better understanding of color theory and design that they can apply to many different areas (like figuring out what colors to paint that drywall). Oil painting is proven to help you cope with stress, trauma, and increase self-esteem. Practicing art can boost your day-to-day creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
Learn a new skill, meet like minded folks, and take home something you create. We hope to see you in class!
