Oil or Pastel Painting Lessons – 10 Group Sessions 9/14 – 11/16 2023
Learn to paint in oil or pastel or increase your level of painting. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced/professional this class addresses all levels of painters. The principles of painting: color mixing, use of brushes, value, value relationships, form, composition, negative space, steps of a painting, and invaluable painting techniques with oil or pastel are demonstrated and instructed.
Classes are held both in-person at my Annapolis, MD studio or online using the Zoom, video platform. Students learn through a combination of demonstration and feedback as they work on a composition of their own choosing with teacher oversight. Students provide their own painting supplies. Easels are provided in the studio. Contact Carol for a supply list at carol@carolvogelstudio.com
This class is structured into a 10-week session. However, students may join a session at any time. The cost will be prorated.
