OIL PAINTING & COLOR SKILLS with Craig Caldwell

This class will build on the fundamentals of using oil paint with a focus not only on painting, gesture, and surface but on the interaction of colors with one another and on creating a new visual language with basic color mixtures. Emphasis will be on creating tones and gradations and color changes as well as mixing colors to create a personal palette with which to become comfortable. Continued emphasis will be on the treatment of edges and tones to create a personal visual language while working on abstract images as well as still lifes, floral studies and basic landscapes. This class is for all levels.
