Oil paint is a versatile and malleable medium. Expand your use of this traditional material and develop a personalized process for your unique studio practice. Students will learn how to make oil paints from scratch, experiment with different techniques and develop their own personal use of color. Build a three dimensional construction with your own choice of materials. Draw, paint and/or collage your way into exploring the modes of abstraction through observational painting. Enjoy a supportive learning environment with individualized instruction.
