Instruction in Traditional Oil Painting
Offering small, personalized, interactive classes in the relaxed setting of my own studio. Each student will be guided through painting projects that will serve to build an understanding of composition, color, form, light and shadow.
Students can compose and paint still lifes from the many beautiful props I have collected over the years, or from their own favorite objects.
Students may attend these ongoing classes on a drop-in basis. Classes are three hours long but studio time is open ended so artists can continue working as long as their inspiration dictates. Beginners are welcome! Fee: $140.00 for four classes.
If you have a question or would like to visit the studio/gallery, give me a call at 781 659 7567 , or email me at laytonart@comcast.net.
