This course is focused on techniques to push your paintings to a new level.

Find better texture, use more paint, push color, and experiment with various ways to use brushes. Learn layering techniques that all make your work richer and create edges that sing. During part of the course, we will be taking earlier paintings and giving them a new life. Come with a couple of “duds” – we all have them!

All levels welcome. Space is limited to ten participants. Emily will send you an invite with the Zoom link before the meeting.

Suggested Materials:

• Full color palette of oil paints. At least: 2 of each primary (warm and cool), plus very dark brown (ex. Vandyke brown), and white.

• Paper or glass palette

• Varied brush sizes, including 1” hardware store brush.

• Palette knives

• Thinning medium of your choice (gamsol, terpenoid, etc.)

• Linseed or walnut oil (or facsimile)

• 3 full sheets oil paper (arches guile paper) - we will tear them to make smaller exercise sheets.

• Old painting(s) that you don’t like that we can bring back to life (2 are fine)
