Landscape Painting in Oils
 
Every Monday in October (October 2, 9, 16, 23, 30) from 5 PM to 8 PM at the Artists' Hand studio.
Instructor: Beth Wheeler
 
In this five-week course, we will create 2-3 landscape paintings in oils, working from photo references. For weeks 1 and 2, follow along step-by-step while learning about atmospheric perspective, color mixing, composition, creating texture, and more. For the remaining three classes, create your own landscape painting using your own reference photo, with guidance from instructor Beth Wheeler. This class is open to anyone from beginning students to seasoned painters who would like to brush up on their skills or explore different techniques.
