This class is for students who want to learn the basics of oil painting-- no prior experience needed! In this class we will discuss: - Embracing texture and unblended strokes - The importance of properly placed highlights and shadows - The difference between types of brushes - the benefits of oil paint vs acrylic - color and composition balance - ways of applying oil paint and why - The impact of color choices - Some art history - Paintbrush etiquette There are times I purposely create a mistake in order to show students how to recover from any painting mistakes that may occur during their artistic journey!
Learning Goals
It's more important to know how to create art than simply painting.
The difference is knowing about your supplies and equipment and how to use them rather than simply painting paint on canvas.
I hope to show it all to you in this class!

Parental Guidance
Oil paint can be difficult to clean from brushes, hands, and clothes. I strongly recommend learners wear clothing suitable for arts and crafts.
Paint will not be cleaned solely with water. Dawn dish soap is an affordable means, but a good brush cleaner I recommend is the B&J "The Masters" Bursh Cleaner and Preserver.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hullo!
My name is Tabitha, but most kids refer to me as Miss T.
I am looking forward to teaching young people how painting is unique to themselves as individuals, and that life lessons can stem from learning any kind of creative outlet. I personally believe that anyone can create artwork-- it just needs to be cultivated!
I was a studio art teacher for nearly 3 years having taught painting lessons to large groups of children as young as 3 years old to young adults 19+. I understand how to navigate through the discouragement that youths often feel when their art piece does not resemble someone else's that they deem "better," and teach them to see beyond the artwork and look at their own special skills and techniques.
In college I learned that history and science have big part to play in the art world therefore, I enjoy sprinkling "golden nuggets" of grammar and word origins into my art lessons.
In my spare time I think, read classic literature & children's fantasy books, draw & paint, go for walks, and plot novels.
