On Saturday, August 18, 2012, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., award winning artist Diana Moses Botkin will lead a workshop in developing oil painting skills at Artisans at the Dahmen Barn in Uniontown.
Oil paints are a wonderful, forgiving and fun medium. Oils have advantages over acrylics because of their slower drying time for blending, and wiping off for changes. This class will help those who have been wanting to paint with oils but didn’t know where to start or provide guidance to those with some experience but whose skills are rusty.
Diana will demonstrate color mixing, laying in shapes, and show you how to make an oil study from still life set-ups. The cost is $72 with registrations required by August 6. Register online using the link at the top of the calendar page at www.artisanbarn.org or call 509-229-3414.
All levels of expertise are welcome to participate in this relaxed class. Beginning students will have simpler exercises and more experienced students can build on current skills. Class enrollees will each have the opportunity to watch the teacher’s live painting demos, and receive individual help during painting sessions.
A supply list for students wishing to bring their own materials may be found on the website calendar listing at www.artisanbarn.org. Alternately, students may pay a materials fee of $15 and use class supplies during the workshop.
