This 3 week class will guide students through the time honored traditions of layered portrait painting! We will learn about the range of materials and their application in a step by step painting process.

Indirect Oil Painting is a time-tested methodical approach to painting in successive layers to achieve specific natural effects. Students will focus on both paint handling and drawing with value. Our goal is a portrait with both structure and presence.

Participants will have to bring their own supplies. The recommended supplies list is as follows:

\- Paint: Yellow Ochre\, Cadmium Red Deep\, Titanium White\, and Ivory Black
