106-Morning Oil Painting: Session 1
In Person | Available
Discover the art of oil painting with Anne Stoeber, whose award-winning work beautifully captures the interplay of light, shadow, and color with striking realism. In this interactive morning class, you’ll learn how to prepare a canvas, create a value study, layer colors, and complete a refined painting. Anne will guide you through concepts of composition, light, and color, helping you turn your own photographs and ideas into artwork. Both beginners and experienced painters will leave with new skills and inspiration.
This course is offered in two separate 5-week sessions. Students can register for either one or both — taking Session 2 does not require enrolling in Session 1. Painters of all experience levels are welcome.
To help create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone, we ask students to review and follow The Center's Policies and Procedures available on our website. Students who cannot comply with these guidelines may be asked to leave class, and refunds will not be issued in these cases.
