Try Oil Painting – Just Bring Yourself

This two-day workshop,with Instructor: David M Salerno, is designed for those who would like to try oil painting, but don’t want to buy all the materials needed, or don’t know what products are best to buy.  The instructor will provide each participant with all the supplies needed for the workshop.  These will include a palette, medium cups, brush washing jar, a high-quality painting knife, five high-quality brushes, a linen 9×12 oil-primed painting panel, artist-grade oil colors, artist-grade linseed oil, odorless mineral spirits, and paper towels as needed.  (Those who prefer to bring their own supplies are welcome to do so.)

After discussing the various tools and supplies, the instructor will use the same materials to explain and demonstrate the steps used to make a painting, and will guide each participant through these steps.  He will provide handouts on the material discussed.  The goal is to enjoy the experience of oil painting, with the hope that participants will decide to continue to pursue this rewarding activity.

All participants will keep their finished painting.  At the end of the class, the painting equipment (palette, brushes, palette knife, cups and jar) can be purchased from the instructor for $50 (his cost) or returned to the instructor at the end of the workshop.     Cost is $195.00 Due Two weeks before start of class.
