OGDENSBURG — The Frederic Remington Art Museum continues its popular series of adult art classes with an “Introduction to Oil Painting” class on Thursday, Jan. 18, from 10 a.m. to noon.

Local artist Julie Pratt will teach fundamental skills like composition, brush work and brush styles, use of color, mediums, and more, guiding participants through the creation of a simple still life.
