Flower Glitch Oil Painting

Using a visual art style, glitch, that mimics the distorted, pixelated, or color-shifted appearance of digital or analog errors you will explore light, form, and color as you begin to acquire or strengthen your skills in oil painting. You will create your own flower-collage glitch photographic references and use them to better understand values, edges, and color mixing. The class will begin with a review of materials and safe studio practices. You will learn to create your own glitch image, transfer your image onto canvas, and block in local colors using simple color theory. The workshop will also cover how to use your phone to gauge values, adjust for temperature, and create a composition. No prior oil painting experience is required; all experience levels are welcome.
