Techniques of the old masters

Some experience in oil painting and/or drawing desirable

Most old masters used a surprisingly simple technique; what we admire in museums is the apparent ease with which they were able to convert their observations into painting. In this class, we will practice observing and painting. Each week we will engage with a modest still life and learn how to observe effectively. Our goal is to keep the observation logical, and the technique simple. Paradoxically, this will help us understand the techniques of the old masters.
