Beginner
In the second part of our three-part foundation series, students will engage in the time-honored practice of master copy painting. This classical approach allows students to gain a deeper appreciation and understanding of both the medium of oil painting and the techniques of the artist they choose to emulate. By closely studying the work of a great master, students can significantly enhance their personal artistic development and refine their technical skills in oil painting. Throughout the 10-week session, students will work on two master copies simultaneously, allowing them to build confidence and proficiency in oil painting by the end of the term.
