This event is no longer on sale.

Monday July 10

9:00 AM  –  12:00 PM

Monday - Friday, July 10 - 14 / 9 am - noon

Inspired by the exhibition “Maynard Dixon: The Paltenghi Collections” students will use oil paint to explore color, light and shadow in the style of the great American artist Maynard Dixon. Students will be introduced to oil painting techniques that utilize broad brush strokes and palette knife carving to blocking in space and build a dynamic composition while creating landscape paintings in oil.
