FA04) Oil Painting (Advanced)

About this class

The course is to teach oil painting techniques according to students own preferences.

Class Outline

In the advanced painting class, we will explore the possibilities of painting the projects that each student has in mind. We will work on achieving individual projects according to reference pictures the students bring in. We also take into consideration if the student needs additional skills to achieve the chosen projects and do the necessary training according to that need.
