Upcoming Traditional Painting Techniques in Oil and Acrylic, with Kathy McNenly – Jan 16 – Mar 6, 2026

This 8 week course will concentrate on providing students with a more traditional approach to painting. You will learn about the fundamentals of drawing, colour mixing, materials and how to build up a painting from underpainting to overpainting and glazing. You will learn how to see form and structure and how to approach a more realistic image. The instructor will be doing short demos to aid in understanding concepts. Students will have a choice of subject matter: portrait, landscape or still life. Students may work in either acrylic or oil. Returning students continue to work on their own projects.
