OGDENSBURG -- The Frederic Remington Art Museum continues its popular series with an oil painting class Saturday, March 31, from 2-4 p.m.

Local artist Julie Pratt will teach the foundation skills of painting with oil, with a focus on four main skills: shading, glazing, color mixing, and application of paint.

“Oil paint is an exciting medium, but it can be intimidating for those who have never been taught how to use it. Once you understand and become familiar with its unique properties you begin to see how versatile and truly amazing this medium really is,” says Pratt. “This is not a step by step class where you walk out with a completed painting, but rather a series of exercises to create a better understanding of the medium, and the foundation skills that will give you what you need to progress further in your endeavours. This class is excellent for those who have worked in oil paint and desire a fuller understanding of the medium or for those who have never used it before.”

The class will be taught at the Eva Caten Remington Education Center, 323 Washington St.

All skill levels are welcome, and materials will be provided, though artists are welcome to bring their own materials if they prefer.

The cost of the class is $15 for members of the Remington Museum and $25 for non-members.

The class is limited to 12 participants.
