If you're peeking over the fence at oil paints wondering what materials to use, how to use them and or how to apply them to portraits, then you are in the right place!

In this class you will learn how I approach oil paints, what brushes and materials I use, and how to paint an eye using various oil paint techniques! This class is intended to make oil paints less intimidating and paint an eye while doing it. The Idea is to take a subject, whatever that may be and explore different painting techniques.

Oil paint is my current favorite medium and I have a love for portrait and figurative work!

In this class you will learn:

Oil paint essentials
How to construct the human eye
How to mix colors and paint skin tones
Underpainting techniques
Brushwork techniques

These skills and techniques can be applied to other mediums and subjects. I have a love for aiming to capture the physiognomy of people. I enjoy exploring realism juxtaposed with abstract and collage.

Is this class for me?

Yes! No doubt about it! Whether you’re new to oil paint, want to know how to paint eyes in oil paint or both, this class is for you! Also, I’ll share ways to set up your painting space to help with efficiency!
