If a single course registration is preferred, please exit this screen and refer to the *SINGLE COURSE* Adult Oil Paint Fundamentals Workshop event on our CALENDAR (www.paintlab.net/calendar).

This class is structured to explore techniques, materials, and methodology needed to begin oil painting with little to no experience! All levels are welcome!

The Fundamentals of Oil Painting Workshop package is $375, discounted from $70.00 per single session. The course and single workshops include all oil paint, oil medium, a standard-size canvas panel, scrap canvas paper, brushes, easel set-up, apron, clean-up, and two hours of instruction.

Please note that all classes must be reserved in advance and are subject to availability. Individual classes may be canceled 24 hours before the event due to insufficient enrollment.

Workshops include ALL materials used and 2 hours of instruction. Each workshop will include at least 30 minutes of step-by-step demonstration and at most 90 minutes of individual work with guidance from our instructor! Please know that you will be working on 1 personal project throughout the course due to the dry time of oil painting.

The full course is designed to build your personal project using the progression of each workshop to further advance your painting. It is important to commit to each session to ensure you are advancing your painting. However, we do accept single session enrollment. Please be aware that in single session enrollment the instructor will be keeping to the course schedule.
