Oil painting class at Rehoboth Art League to start Feb. 26

Local artist Joe Terrone will lead an oil painting class from 6 to 8:30 p.m., Wednesdays, Feb. 26 to March 25, at Rehoboth Art League.

This five-week class is for beginners as well as more seasoned painters.

Participants will learn the basic tools of oil painting to create a work of art. Each class will begin with a specific discussion topic such as color theory, composition, the importance of values, drawing skills and perspective. Attendees will also learn how to read a tube of paint, what kind of brushes are needed, and what alternative substrate can be used.

Students can work from still life, photos or their imaginations. Individual instruction will be given to each student to help develop a specific plan for growth. As participants advance weekly, they will become more equipped to understand and analyze their own artwork. The cost of the class is $180 for members and nonmembers.

All classes are held at the Rehoboth Art League, 12 Dodds Lane, Henlopen Acres.
