Oil Painting Made Easy
Pat Bistline, Instructor

The first class will be about color mixing and a demonstration of various techniques. You may borrow dabs of paint from me if you do not have your own yet, but you must have your own brushes. You will need to purchase your odorless brush cleaner, paper towels, glass jars (I will provide the screen) and a piece of canvas paper or canvas board. Below is a list of supplies for those wishing to purchase their own materials before the first class. Please call with any questions or email at patbistline@gmail.com.
