Our Oil painting course will provide students with solid knowledge and understanding of the basic principles of Oil painting and its application. Students will learn practical skills in handling materials and equipment appropriately. Students will learn to pay more attention to the practices away from the canvas, which includes making preparatory sketches, employing color studies, managing their palette, and approaching their subject matter. Students will be required to look at the work of historical and contemporary painters during the course to gain heightened critical awareness. They will be encouraged to utilize the techniques of other artists in their work and will be required to develop a contextual understanding of artists, styles, and movements. In addition, they will be encouraged to visit art galleries and permanent exhibitions.
