(3 hours each / session)

This six-week course introduces you to the timeless art of oil painting through traditional, time-honored techniques passed down through generations of artists. You will explore classic yet simple methods that make oil painting approachable and enjoyable for beginners, while still offering valuable insights for more experienced artists.

With step-by-step instruction, you will learn how to begin a painting, draw accurately, see values, and understand basic composition. Create a still life painting and complete a final autumn landscape inspired by Tom Thomson’s Autumn, Algonquin Park (1916–17).

The class is rich with new discoveries, art history insights, and creative “aha” moments—and you’ll leave with finished pieces ready to display.
