 PAINTING
Beginning/Intermediate Oil Painting

moves into painting techniques and color theory. Choose your own
subjects as you complete assigned exercises and progress at your
pace. If you have painted before, you can build on what you already
know and fill in information you may have missed in previous art
classes. Class requires the use of non-toxic Turpenoid natural,
rather than turpentine or other dangerous solvents. Click
