By the end of the class you will have your own finished painting of leaves and you'll feel more confident to start your journey.

In this class you’ll learn the essential oil painting techniques: glazing, scumbling and impasto. Glazing is an amazing technique where you apply a transparent or semi-transparent layer of paint over another thoroughly dry layer of paint.
