Beginning Oil Painting and Charcoal Drawing

Ability: Beginner or Just Want a Place to Paint with Others

Start from the very beginning in this fun and informative class. Mike Prather will discuss the art of getting started and set-up some simple still-life to begin with. Plan to complete 3 paintings in this 6 week period. Each artist will spend the first 30 to 40 minutes with a charcoal stick, then paint. No experience is necessary, all you need is a desire to grow as a painter and to have a great time!
