Jean Cormier's May Oil Painting Class
Description:
For students who have completed at least two (2) of my 4-week painting series, you will supply your own 8 X 10 image or images if you plan to start two paintings! Before class starts, plan how you will begin the canvas preparations and the sizes ( 8 X 10 or 16 X 20 canvas panels will be supplied). We generally begin on Gesso prepped canvases toned in a mid-tone or Burnt Sienna wash although there are several other ways to begin an oil painting.
For beginning oil painters, instructor-provided images will be used. We will explore the ways to start a painting, transfer an image accurately, find the correct value scales, choose brushes and use oil paint to achieve your desired results. When possible, classes may feature demonstrations by the instructor. Learn how to make color chains, use additives in paint for effects and mix your own colors using a limited palette.
These classes use a limited palette with an emphasis on correct values to produce harmonious paintings.

"The student works shown below were painted by both beginner students and students who have been in my classes for about 15 months. Some are completed paintings and others are works in progress. These are samples of what our class is doing and what you can learn to paint! I am proud of each and every one of them!"
