Description: 

This class is open to those painting in oils and/or pastels. It is geared to helping those already familiar with painting in these mediums to gain additional insights and skills in their work. Pastels and oils are closely linked due to similar working concepts. Progress in one medium easily converts to the use of the other. Both mediums are best developed using underpainting techniques and generally progress from darks to lights.

Underpainting techniques will be shown in both mediums. Watercolors will be used to under paint pastels and fast drying oils will be used to provide the underpainting for oils. In both, the composition and values will be worked out before the use of final colors. If you are an oil artist looking to learn about pastels or a pastelist looking to explore oils or simply wanting to further develop your use of pastels or oils, this is the class for you.

There are two classes each week. Class one will be a demonstration and information class followed by a second class to critique that week’s work.

Skill building classes will be held at 2 PM 2/24/21 - 3/31/21 and critique classes will be held at 2 PM on 3/1/21 - 4/5/21

No critique class on 1/18, and 2/15.

You will receive your Zoom access email and further instructions 48 hours prior to class start date.

Guidelines for Video Communication

By clicking the 'Add to Cart' button, you are agreeing to our Video Conferencing Guidelines.

1. Remember that any audio/video communication may involve two-way camera and audio usage. This means that the instructor will need to see students’ work and speak with them about it, and may also be able to see and hear what is occurring in the student’s home.

2. Do not make audio or video recordings of lessons. Without the permission of the instructor, Wayne Art Center and other lesson participants, this may be illegal.

3. Do not provide access to the lesson to anyone other than the registered participant.

4. Maintain the confidentiality of other students if you or your child are participating in a group lesson. All individuals participating may be able to see and hear what is occurring in your home, including what everyone is wearing, just as you may see and hear what is occurring in their home.

5. If that makes you uncomfortable, you are encouraged to set the video conference up so that only the student is visible, sitting in front of a wall.

6. Wayne Art Center reserves the right to make audio and video recordings of all lessons. Any such recordings will be the sole property of Wayne Art Center, and may be retained, used, or disposed of in its discretion, subject to applicable laws.

*Registration for a class is for one participant. If you have more than one person participating from your household please register them each individually.
