Approaches to Oil Painting | CPT 129-W27

This course offers a welcoming, methodical approach to the fundamentals of oil painting. In the first session, students create a color chart to comfortably familiarize themselves with their paint palette. The studio practice then moves into foundational brushstroke exercises, a limited palette study, and an introduction to gridding. By the halfway point of the term, students will begin making a personal piece, receiving supportive guidance to fully resolve their artwork by the end of the course.

Learning Outcomes:

• Learn how to use oil paint to produce the desired piece of artwork

Learning Objectives:

• Students will leave the course with a color chart, various technical studies, and at least one resolved painting

Who is this class for?

• Anyone + everyone! Open to beginners or those with an established painting practice
