Beginner/Intermediate Oil Painting/Still Life - Teresa Villarubia

This class is for both beginner and intermediate oil painters.

Through the use of inanimate objects in pictorial compositions, students will learn to observe three dimensional objects and translate them into two dimensional works of art.

Composition, color theory, and various painting techniques will be discussed.

Intermediate students will receive instruction and guidance based on their interests and level of proficiency.
