For this first series, we will dive deep into the traditional “Grisaille” oil painting technique. Adults will learn how to work with oil paint, from creating a detailed underpainting and then work on using glazes to build the color and the surface of the painting to completion. Participants will bring in their own source imagery for their painting. They can work from found photos, or their own photography. They can explore landscape, portraiture, or abstraction. If you are unsure what you want to paint, artist Martin Benson will guide you in exploring your ideas and composition before beginning the painting process.
