"Crash Course - Part 3": Oils

Making your own paint can be fun and addictive. It is much easier than it seems. I want to show you how! Instructors like to talk about historical facts about processes and provide recipes with precise ratios to achieve an ideal medium or paint. Similar to cookbooks you read today, one should not take these steps so literally -- you can come up with new "flavors" if you experiment a little. I believe this is the same with paint. I will provide historical processes and some modern ones as well. The following courses though, are meant to provide you with a firm grasp on the materials, so you can then manipulate paint the way you want -- for your own personal aesthetic.

I invite you to follow me on the investigation of raw materials and learn how to control them for your purpose.

All classes will be approximately two hours long, with Q&A relevant to the topic. Seating is limited to 20 per class; first come first serve basis, no fee. Reservation is required. All classes will be held on Saturdays at 2 pm.

Colorful regards,
