Oil Painting With Mia Bergeron

Join Mia as she helps students work their way through the fundamentals of oil painting,  including an explanation of materials, drawing, and values. This class will be taught to start in black and white, helping students create a solid foundation for working in color later.

Working with only two colors also allows students to more freely explore drawing and how to see in simplifies terms.

A great class for anyone wanting to start with a solid ground in oils, or seasoned artists who need a bit of refreshment!  The class will be chocked full of live painting demos by Mia, powerpoints on materials, techniques, and terms, and hands-on painting. 

This class will be taught via ZOOM meetings.  After registration, a link will be sent to all students with instructions on how to join the class from the comfort of your home.
