This is a, dare I say, FUN, non-traditional approach to oil painting. We will be painting directly on paper in a sketchbook and going over warm-ups, exploring color, and finding daily inspiration to fuel your oil painting journey. This workshop is meant to encourage the playful side of oil painting and letting go. Let’s get inspired!
