Vitality Arts: Oil Painting: Learning from the Collection
Explore color mixing, layering, and expressive mark-making in oil paint by copying selected works from Mia’s collection with teaching artist Sophia Weisensel. We’ll begin each class in the galleries, where you’ll sketch and closely observe the artworks. Then we’ll spend the remainder of the sessions creating small-scale copies inspired by these pieces. Each class will start with a teacher-led demonstration, providing guidance on effective techniques for studying and re-creating the works. Some oil painting experience is recommended but not required!
