This class welcomes both experienced oil painters and beginners. The focus will be on the unique color palette of the ancient Egyptians. Each student will create a painting that they will take home.
The museum will provide all necessary materials, including tabletop easels for a shared workspace. Participants are welcome to bring their easels, favorite brushes, and tools, and we will work in a limited palette of colors that will be provided. LASM will provide a wood panel for each student.
