Oil Painting Classes Offered through Springfield Township Senior and Community Arts

Oil paints are rich, vivid and vibrant. There are certain techniques that artists use in order to be successful with this beautiful medium. Whether you have never painted with oil paint or are just dusting off your brushes, this is the class for you! ArtsConnect’s expert instructor, Susan Hoffeimer will guide you with step-by-step instruction on how to use oil paint materials.  With your first painting, you will learn how to work with a three color palette, how to mix color, how to show lights and darks to create dimension, and how to shade seamlessly from one shade to the next. In the last two weeks of the session, we will either create another guided still-life painting or you may stretch your wings and do a painting of your own choice.  Our instructor will go from easel to easel, offering assistance and giving advice.

Session & Class Structure: Classes will be held once a week, for four week sessions. This program is ideal for beginners, as well as advanced students. Some drawing abilities are helpful. Class members are asked to bring their own paint supplies. Check out ArtsConnect’s facebook page to see the photos of what class members have created!!!

The program runs Tuesday nights, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. At the Springfield Township Senior and Community Arts Center
