SESSION FOCUS: BIG CANVAS

Welcome to a series of rich Oil Painting sessions designed for young inspiring artists who want to develop and cultivate their very own practice in oil painting. In these sessions students enrich their understanding of painting through gentle guidance and practical hands-on experience with me at the studio. Together we explore the fundamentals in painting as we learn starting techniques such as colour theory and the comprehensive language of value to create depth in painting. This series is designed to help student’s develop a language both in painting and in conversation about painting through practice and through demonstration. There will be a strong emphasis on underpainting to start building skills and comfort with oils. We will explore various painting compositions and get comfy with both still life subject matter and 2D image references. Students will learn how to see light, shape, value, texture through the eyes of a painter. This class is intended for students who are passionate about art, curious about painting and dedicated to investing in their art passion.

Students supply their own painting materials. Painting substrates, rags, and easels and passionate instruction is supplied by The Imagination Studio. See our Material List.
