Course Overview

Hello, my name is Greg Albert and I’m an art materials junkie. Oil painting has a rich tradition that can seem intimidating for beginning artists, but I’m here to help! I want to share my enthusiasm for these materials, giving you enough information to make the best decisions about what to buy and get you started painting right away.

There is no magic in the materials that will make you into a better artist. What makes a difference in your work is persistent practice, a willingness to learn, and the determination to enjoy the journey to greater mastery. To help you practice, I’ll be demonstrating a painting from start to finish, showing you a strategy for using your materials.

I’ve taken the time to carefully curate the endless variety of painting materials available to give you everything you NEED to know to get started. If there is something I’ve missed, or if you have any questions, I’ll be available throughout this two-week course to help in any way I can.

Topics covered:

  • The difference between traditional oils, alkyds, and water-soluble oils.
  • How and when to use solvents and mediums.
  • Strategies for mixing and applying color.
  • What to look for in a brush.
  • What colors should a beginner start with?
  • Various painting surfaces.
  • Easels, palettes and other studio tools.
