There’s something magical and comforting about the glow of a candle. Susan will show you how to capture this special warmth with oil paint. With its amazing ability to blend color, oil is the perfect medium to create this effect.

This class is suitable for people who have some experience with oils. If you are brand new to oils please check out Susan’s “Exploring Oils While Painting Small” class starting in February, a perfect starting point for beginners.

In this workshop you will receive:

- Step by step instructions on how to make a successful painting.

- Tips on brushes, what works when and how to use them

- Tips on color mixing. How to analyze a color and create a plan to mix it.

- An opportunity to receive your own video recording of feedback on the painting you create in class.

This class includes a three hour live Zoom session and videos to assist you on your painterly path with one year access to the class recording.

A table easel, floor easel or pochade box will work for holding your painting.
