In this eight-week oil painting course, we will follow a closer version of Steve Chmilar’s actual painting process than in any previous five-week course. This class is suitable for anyone who is interested the realistic fine detail of old-world art. Previous oil painting experience is recommended, or at least a lot of patience and a will-to-learn. Students will be provided with reference images (what will be demonstrated). With such a long course, it is expected that some student may miss a class or two. Steve will do his best to help you catch up. If you will be away on Nov 11th please let Steve know as well so that he can provide materials. Steve Chmilar is one of Canada’s foremost New Contemporary painters. Since his debut show at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria in 2011, he has painted full-time by selling his work internationally to private collectors. In 2012, he won best in show at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibit (Canada’s largest juried exhibition) and Prix De La Meilleure Oeuvre (Prize for Best Work) Mtl en Arts in Montreal.
