Do you want to work with oil paint, but don’t know where to start? Looking at that wall of paint tubes at the Michael’s can be overwhelming! Let Artist/Instructor Philip Myrick help you set up your creative foundation. For five weeks you will learn about the tools and materials you’ll need and their value. The benefits of limiting your color palette. Mixing and blending colors. Techniques and methods that will assist you in creating your perfect work of art and of course more than anything the value of enjoying your experience as you paint like the old masters. We will work with subjects as basic as fruit to more complicated objects like glass and metal. In the end you’ll gain the needed knowledge along with some beautiful still life art created by your own hand! This is a five-week course for students Ages 16 through Adults!
