Upcoming oil painting workshop!!!

I will be in Bay view, Milwaukee teaching an oil painting workshop! I will be doing workshops on the last saturday of every month, starting on Feb. 26th, 2011. These workshops will be filled with lots of information, so bring your coffee, a bag lunch for when we take a break and a notebook, so you could jot stuff down when I do my demonstrations! I have noticed that the demonstrations are the most effective in my instruction, watching is a great way of learning, and a lot of fun for me, its so much easier to show you on a canvas what I am talking about rather than having to just tell you what to do. I will break the workshop into two parts. First, we will discuss composition, and setting up our still-life. we will dedicate most of our time working out our underpainting, which we will do in acrylics. (normally I would use oil, but we do have to cover a lot in one day, so to allow for less drying time we will use acrylics for the underpainting, then start in with the oils after that.) I will start each part of the class with a demo. just to get us started. after we take our snack break and allow time for the underpainting to dry, we will begin the oil painting, we will be talking a lot about mixing colors, and paint application all the way to glazing and finishing a painting by the end of the class. If you are interested in taking a workshop with me, please email me at: jody@kensingtongalleries.com

also you could visit: www.carmenbenske.com for more information on the class and other classes available at her shop located at 2674 s. Kinnickinnic ave. Milwaukee Wi. where I will be teaching these upcoming workshops!! I will have the acrylic paint for your use, along with some oil painting medium. If you would like to bring some items from your home to paint, that would be great! I also will bring a box of goodies for you to choose from. Bring your oil paints, a variety of brushes and an easel if you have one! (please let me know if you need to borrow an easel) Lets spend the day painting together!!!!
