In this 6-week workshop you will learn the techniques used to manipulate multiple layers of oil paints in various
opacities to create depth and substance to your artwork. This is a technique class,
and accessible to all levels, including beginners. We will be using water-based oil
paints to aid clean up, with a class in making oils using traditional methods and tools.
One of the most important aspects of your artwork is the ability to visualize your
