Finishing Techniques in Oil

This new course will focus primarily on the finishing stages of painting. Working from simple, single object set ups, students will practice techniques to bring their work to a full finish. We will discuss what areas of a set up to include and exclude, plus learn valuable secrets for making an intriguing composition no matter the simplicity of the set up. If you struggle with unfinished pieces because you don’t know where to go with them, this course might be for you.
