6 classes: $450

Starts April 21st

Instructor:

Nate Seay

Class Description:

We’ll start our class studying basic forms in black and white, and move into color with a limited palette, then a full palette. The class will cover basic drawing and composition principles, oil painting materials and preparations, and how to mix and apply paint in an effective way. Nate will discuss and demonstrate how to block in a painting and bring it to a finish, how to paint different materials like glass and metals, and how to tackle more complex subjects like flowers and bundles of fruits.
