Intensive OIL Painting
24 Lesson
Art Course
Some prospective students have asked
for an intensive immersion in learning to draw and to paint.
They haven't the time or budget to fly
around the world to the major art schools with their $100,000 cost for a
four year art school enrollment plus the living costs to stay there.
This course does not pretend to equal a four year art school. There are
no liberal arts components: Great Books Course, Sociology Course and the
other liberal arts education components of a degree granting Fine Art
College art course.
But there is a step by step plan structured into this intense course to
allow a student to learn much of what they need to have a solid
education in drawing and painting.
How long will it take?
Depends on
your available time. If a student can drop everything else, read the art
textbooks and online supplemental eLessons on our school WEB site, and
practice the exercises, then do the Lesson Assignments we post to their
Personal Home Index Page on the school WEB site, the course could be
done in 24 weeks.
For others, 24 months would be appropriate allowing time for real life,
family friends, colds and the rest of the stuff life is made of.
We allow up to 48 months (4 years) for the completion of this Intensive
Art Course in learning to draw and paint.
Will I be a painter when I am done?
Nobody knows. How hard are you willing to work? How good a student are
you - can you keep your nose in the Art textbooks supplied and read them
and reread them till you get it (along with the help I supply in my hand
drawn and hand painted critiques I post to your Personal Home Index page
(to see a sample Critique click here).
I once had a teacher who said "paint 200 paintings and you will be a
painter" - a good one, a medium one, but some kind of painter. There
is also the old saying "Art is 90 percent perspiration and 10%
inspiration". This is hard work and you can answer your own question
about whether you can learn to draw and learn to paint.
Supplies and Art Textbooks:
Art Textbooks are described
below in each Lesson books are supplied for in the course
outline at the end of this page
Art Supplies –
When you learn how to draw and how to oil paint, it is
imperative that you have the proper art supplies. That is
why you will receive an array of materials. Included in your
student’s package will be:
Drawing Starter Kit – An assortment of artist’s pencils to use with each of your
drawing lessons.
Oil Starter Set –
Just what you need when you start learning how to paint in
oils. Twenty-six tubes of oil color, three specialty
pencils, a sharpener, an eraser, four brushes, a putty
eraser, a palette for color mixing, and a wooden carrying
case.
Drawing Pads –
You’ll also receive a 50-sheet, 14x17 drawing pad as well as
a 10-sheet, 12x16 pad of canvases. These are not stretched
canvases which you can buy yourself later as you progress as
an artist ...these are canvas sheets for study and practice.
What you are NOT supplied with: – The
oil
kit supplied is intended to be, as the
oil
STARTER kit. One of my students painted 40” by 60” oil
paintings as he took the course. We could not possibly
supply everyone with enough paint to do large and to do many
paintings. Art supplies are expensive, even student grade.
The course would be insanely priced to cover all students’
needs, like the 40 X 60 guy. We supply a STARTER kit and the
student buys, and learns to buy what they need as they
progress through the course.
Also note re supplies: –We cannot ship flammable substances like turpentine or oil
paint medium via the Post Office or other shippers. That
requires special licenses/procedures that online art stores
are certified in. We will have certain materials shipped
directly to you separately from those described above.

At Pratt
University in Brooklyn, where I studied, some students spent
as much for art supplies as they did for tuition.
