In studio: If you've painted in oils for years or have some experience with the medium, there's always a lot to learn. Continue to explore color mixing as you paint subjects of your choice. I will work with you on design, brushwork, and understanding color as value. You will practice drawing with the brush and explore different ways to create paintings that you can be proud of. Work with water soluble oil colors if you wish.
