Old Meets New in the Classical World of Oil Painting (Jan to Feb ClassPets) 

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 will 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 will create innovative oil paintings with a classical touch and personal flair. This course welcomes students of all levels – beginners are encouraged to develop their skills just as those with previous painting experience can enhance their talents! 

Students will acquire techniques akin to traditional classical painting, including monochrome priming, thin-layered colouring, and textural treatment.  

Students will be informed of the materials needed in the first lesson.            

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