"Welcome to intro to oil painting and gesture drawing. My name is Sydney and I will be your instructor for this class. I am so excited that you chose to potentially explore something new today. I think we will all learn something new today whether you have oil painted before or this is your first time painting ever! I will be demo-ing what it's like to work from a still life."

Learn simple tools to help you explore the world of oil paint.  Learn a fundamental skill called Gesture drawing that will help you start to really "see" what you are looking at.  This is a simple course designed for beginners in an easy-to-understand manner.  At the end of this class, you will have completed an oil painting and have enough paint to start your next one. Use this class as a launching point into your creative experience with painting. If you are looking for a space for self-care, painting can be that platform.  Explore a new medium while taking some time just for you.

Thank you for considering taking this course.  I love teaching and exploring new topics with students.  My students range from 5 to 89.  I personally believe we all have an inner artist waiting to come out and explore what that means to us.
