Come spend a day with Piper Grant as we learn the fundamentals of oil painting.

We will:

• Talk about what makes oil paint different from other materials

• Create a 9 step value scale by picking a primary color and learning to tint with white and then shade with black.

• Learn how light changes value over a 3 dimensional object.

  • Demonstration of a cube, with student practice

  • Demonstration of a cylinder, with student practice

  • Demonstration of a sphere, with student practice

• If time allows we will do a group still life of monochromatic solid objects.
  
  All materials are included for use during this class and there will be a supply list provided to purchase materials to take home.

  There are no prerequisites for this course.

  
  This is a fundamentals class and the concepts we cover will be used in later classes as we continue to explore this classic medium.
  
  An option to order a boxed lunch from The Mercantile will be available.
