Beginner Oil Painting

taught by Lisa David

In this class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of oil painting — including materials, color mixing, color value, composition, glazing, brushwork, and more.

Along the way, we’ll clear up common misconceptions about oil painting, show you how to choose the right tools for your subject, and guide you through each step so you can successfully create your first works. By the end, you’ll have both a solid foundation and the confidence to continue exploring oil painting on your own.

You will complete 2–3 finished paintings — both still-life and landscape studies — while gaining practical experience in the studio.

All materials will be provided.

About the instructor

Award-winning artist Lisa David was born and raised in upstate New York, where she spent much of her childhood camping in the Adirondack Mountains. Those early experiences sparked a lifelong love for the region and continue to inspire her work. A child of the sixties and seventies with a suburban upbringing that was, at times, a bit offbeat, Lisa finds beauty and nostalgia in vintage subjects—often capturing them with playful energy and a bold use of color.

Lisa began her career running a successful production pottery business. When the physical demands of clay led her to shift focus, she pursued a teaching degree and became a National Board Certified Art Teacher. For 20 years, she taught high school art, nurturing creativity in young artists while continuing to grow her own practice.

Now retired from public education, Lisa teaches advanced drawing and painting at the Saratoga Arts Center in Saratoga Springs, NY. She continues to paint from her cabin in the Adirondacks, where the landscape, light, and memories of summers past still fuel her artistic passion.

Open Studio Sessions do not have a teacher and are meant to be an informal, community session where artists are free to talk about their work, share ideas, and discuss a variety of methods and media. These sessions are great practice for any artist interested in working from a live model* without the formality of a class. All skill levels are welcome.

Participants are encouraged to work in a medium of their choice, but must bring their own supplies. Our monitor will set up, lead the group, time poses, and control lighting. A brief peer critique will end each session.

We encourage participants to pre-register online, but drop-ins are welcome. All sessions are "pay what you can" and any donations are kindly accepted.

Sessions currently scheduled:

Monday, September 14, 6:00 PM-9:00 PM

Monday, September 28, 6:00 PM-9:00 PM
