Oil Painting


Adult and Senior / Arts & Crafts -
Senior Program 2023-2024

Enjoy yourself and learn to paint - when the weather is nice, we will paint on the patio at Lenox! Gain confidence in your ability to translate your subject to canvas as you strengthen your observational skills, build a reliable process for planning and developing your unique voice. Whether a beginner or more experienced painter, this workshop will help to identify a focus in your painting practice. Suzi will demonstrate a variety of topics including setting up a composition using design protocols, then leaving the rest of the class for your own work. Open to oil, water soluble oil, acrylic, or even pastels. 

Please have these supplies for class: - Windsor Newton Oil Painting Color Pallet (basic set of colors) - Paper towels - Non-smelly brush cleaner - Small glass jar with a cover (she recommends a small jelly jar) - Squirrel hair brushes - #2, #4, #10 (she suggests Robert Simmons squirrel hair brushes) - Walnut oil for thinning the paint - Pre-prepared canvas boards to start (6x10 or 10x12)
