Description: Contemporary Oil Painting is designed for artists with previous experience in oil painting who are ready to expand both their technical abilities and creative voice. Centered on portraiture and the human figure, this course explores expressive brushwork, intentional color, composition, and contemporary approaches to representational painting.

Students will strengthen their understanding of anatomy, proportion, skin tones, and light while experimenting with painterly techniques that move beyond simply copying a reference image. Through demonstrations, individualized instruction, and guided critiques, artists will develop paintings that balance strong classical foundations with contemporary expression.

This course is ideal for painters looking to deepen their technical skills while creating work that feels personal, expressive, and uniquely their own.
