Oil Painting for People with No Time or Talent

Instructor: Tom Nixon

This evening class is designed for the person who has never picked up a paint brush but their inner child has always wanted to learn to paint with oils. I start by explaining that the fuzzy end of the brush goes in the paint and then on the canvas. I will slowly introduce you to the medium of oils and give you over 5 nights the basics of how to paint an Alaska landscape. There will be a material sheet provided both online and hard copy with your signup for the class. Please see the material list for you to purchase for this oil class in the online catalog.  If you have questions please call us at 907-456-3329.

Make sure to look at the materials list to see what you need to bring for the class.

Dear Student,
I have researched the following items. You can order all of them from Amazon, if you
have Prime, they will come to you “freight free”. You can sign up for a trial period or
one month, if you don’t already have one. Type the names in the search box, and it
will come up.
