Wet-on-Wet Oil Painting (Ages 10+) June 8, 2024

If you think you can’t paint anything other than a wall, this class is for you! You will paint a painting wet-on-wet style (aka alla prima) just like Bill Alexander and his students did on PBS. In this class, instructor Kevin Klein will share what he learned directly from Tom Anderson, Buck Paulson, and Steve Ross. He will guide you step-by-step as you create your own version of landscapes and seascapes. You will also learn how to mix colors and you’ll get an introduction to the laws of landscapes and composition.

The painting will change with every class. Instead of just being taught how to paint one painting, what you learn will help you paint any painting. The first rule is everyone leaves with a pretty painting.

Students are asked to bring:

• Wear old clothes in case you get paint on them
• If your class is scheduled over a lunch hour, we highly recommend you bring a lunch or click here to learn about local eating opportunities.
