Enjoy landscape painting in oil with the convenience of working indoors from photographs and painting solvent-free. Water mixable oils are real oil paint, but they clean up with water and use non-toxic thinners and mediums that don’t give off fumes.

Topics will include: working with water mixable oil, thinners and mediums, choosing a subject and arranging a composition for landscape, transferring a composition from a photograph to a canvas or panel, starting a painting, understanding value and edges, creating textures to suggest foliage, tree trunks, grasses, water and other surfaces, adjusting the thickness of oil paint as you paint, brush handling, paint mixing, understanding the color characteristics of hue, value and chroma and mixing a wide range of colors from a simple, limited palette.

The class will include demonstrations by the instructor and individual instruction at each student’s level of experience.
