Painting Fundamentals 1

This workshop is designed for all kinds of students, from rusty former painters to curious new explorers who want to solidify the basics before moving forward. Beth will cover the very basics of color mixing and brushwork, then take a brief foray into the concepts of shapes and values. After a demonstration, you'll do a small painting on your own with Beth's individual and gentle guidance. Previous students who were convinced they'd never be able to do a painting left with big smiles and newfound confidence.

This class is taught in the oil medium and all oil supplies are included. If you would like to paint in acrylic Beth does provide that option, but please know the lecture will be geared towards the specifics of oil paints. Email Kelly Frost to discuss acrylic versus oils, we are here to help!

You'll Learn:

• The very basics of color mixing
• Types of brushes and essential brush stroke techniques
• How to start and finish your painting
• A little bit about values
