Fundamentals of Painting Class Rob Pollien

Join Rob Pollien at ArtWaves studio for an introductory series of structured oil painting exercises. Artists of all experience are welcome, although the course is recommended for artists new to oil painting or returning after a long absence.

Starting with simple value and color painting studies in oil, we will progress quickly toward more complex painting problems. Attention will be given to reviewing sound studio fundamentals as well as issues that will help the students learn, grow and become comfortable with the medium.
