Mia Bergeron

Oil painting

A great class to jump start a new or existing interest in oil painting! Mia will guide students each day through the basics of learning this tricky medium. We will be discussing materials, drawing proportions, notans, color charts, values, mixing, lighting, and composition. We will start the class using only black and white oil paints, but will progress to primaries the second half of the week, making for stable understanding of values and color. The goal of this class is to answer questions, explain and demonstrate firsthand techniques, learn to paint what you see, and to create curiosity and interest for further experimenting. Open to all levels- whether you are a total newbie, coming back to oils after a long pause, or are a seasoned painter looking to revisit the basics! There will be a one-hour lunch break each day. Lunch is on your own. For students traveling from out of town, please contact us if you need accommodation recommendations.
