Old Meets New in the Classical World of Oil Painting (10-lesson Class)

How to become a modern Michelangelo? Old-world techniques meet new-world ingenuity in “Oil Painting – Variations on Classical Techniques”!   

Today’s oil painting techniques and methods have evolved from classical oil painting traditions, passed down and developed through the ages. In this course, you’ll learn the skills to create your own variation on the classics. To help you master these skills, the instructor will reference classical paintings and contemporary artists’ works. Through observation and analysis, combined with your own life experiences, you’ll create innovative oil paintings with a classical touch and personal flair.   

Students will:   

• Acquire techniques akin to traditional classical painting, including monochrome priming, thin-layered colouring, and textural treatment   

• Work based on the instructor’s theme in the first half of the course, then draw on a theme of their choice in the second half  

Register now to infuse your modern masterpiece with a touch of classical elegance!
