Introduction:

This course is designed for those who want to try oil painting but not sure where to begin or how it differs from other types of paint, or those who have tried it but uncertain how to get the most out of this medium. We will go through the many options available for paints and other materials, options for tools and painting supports, set up and clean up.

We will look at different painting styles and ways to apply oil paints and what you will need for your painting kit if you decide to continue with oil painting once the course is finished.
