Wednesday Night Oil Painting Workshop

instructed by Anthony Holdsworth

On Wednesday nights Anthony Holdsworth teaches an ongoing painting class in our spacious gallery.

Classes are every Wednesday from 6:30 PM until 10:00 PM.
Students must pay for one month in advance but may enroll at any time.

These classes are appropriate for beginners and advanced students. We focus on the relationship of contemporary color theory and apply the science of visual perception to the depiction of light and space.

Classes cost $150 a month. Paint, solvent and easels are included in the price (see below for a list of supplies students are expected to bring.) There will be a live model about a third of the time, when we have a model there is an additional fee of $6 per class to help cover this cost.
​
You are welcome to observe part of a class. For further information or to enroll, inquire at the bookshop.
