This workshop focuses on how principles of viscosity allow the oil painter to layer wet-into-wet and complete a painting in a single session. We will be exploring various oil painting mediums and how they affect paint handling. Other topics covered will be palette organization, limited color palettes, mixing, white pigments, tonal design of a painting, and toned grounds. Put on your lab coat and join me for some experiments!
