BEGINNERS OIL PAINTING LAYERING & 
GLAZING  (Todd Bonita)
Jan 08, 2019, (9am - 12)  Tuesdays
Brush and Palette Art Center, 105 Post Rd. North Hampton, NH
 8 Weeks (Limit 14)  $360

This indoor class takes place at the Brush and Palette Art Center Tuesday Mornings and aims to simplify oil painting using a traditional layering process.  These classes are for beginners who have never painted before or have some experience but are looking for a simple and focussed understanding of the nuts and bolts of oil painting.  Each class begins with a demo where we will explore individual steps from drawing to underpainting to color application.  Design, value, color and creative oil painting techniques and tools will be discussed and demonstrated.  With an understanding of these principles, students will be better equipped to meet the challenges of painting with glazes and layers, and thereby, better able to express themselves as artist.  Syllabus and supply list on Todd's web site,
