42399. Intro and intermediate Oil Painting: Still-Life
Class - Graphics 2D | FULL
This course is tailored for individuals who are new to using oil paints or have some prior experience. Throughout the class, we will delve into essential safety practices, fundamental painting techniques, art materials, and the concepts of color theory. Students will have the opportunity to select and depict a simple still-life under the instructor's guidance.
Upon completion of the course, participants will have developed the confidence to pursue independent painting projects at home. Note: If you would like to take oil portraiture, I highly recommend taking this course first!

Anna Jarrell
I am primarily a portrait painter, although you will see me dabble in abstracts, interiors, plein air, and still-life from time to time. I work in oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor, and charcoal from my home studio. I graduated in 2005 from Wake Forest University with degrees in Studio Art and Psychology. There I had a concentration in drawing. I love to teach and I love to learn. Summer 2023 found me at The Florence Academy in Italy practicing traditional techniques like sight-size for drawing and painting. My high school sweetheart and I married right out of college and we have a 10 year old son. When I’m not painting, I love to cook or read fiction.
