FREE CLASSICAL DRAWING AND OIL PAINTING
For youth ages 10-19
January 22nd - February 19th (five class sessions)
Sundays, Noon - 4:00 PM

This class is for beginning and experienced students interested in
developing a strong foundation in classical drawing and oil painting.
Utilizing classical methods of art instruction, beginning students will
move through basic drawing concepts until ready to start working in oil
paint. Using the under-painting method in oils, students will learn
values through the completion of a monochromatic painting. The class
offers individual instruction in a group setting. Beginning and
experienced students will receive individual attention and will progress
through the techniques at their own pace with the guidance of the
instructor.

Instructor Robert A. Lahm has worked as a commercial illustrator for
more than 35 years and is an avid landscape and wildlife painter.

Teens, use this workshop to develop pieces for your portfolio!

Paper will be painted, torn, cut, splattered, sprayed, and textures will be torn from magazines. From this library of colors and shapes students will form a portrait.
