Oil Painting Series with Helen America

In this four-week, in-depth class you will learn everything you need to know to work with this ancient and magical medium - safely, and on a budget! Ideal for artists who know how to draw but haven’t yet been taught to crack the oil painting code. You’ll learn which supplies are important and which are useless, how to DIY your painting supplies, how to prime a painting surface, how to navigate the color wheel and mix pigments, how to choose the right brush for the right job, and what all those weird color names mean. We will learn to mix paint and clean brushes without toxic solvents; the emphasis will be on giving you skills you can take with you, regardless of how much space you have at home.
