Working from dry pigments allows you to use pigments that are not commercially available (or too expensive) in tubes. Texture, opacity, luminosity, and drying times are all affected by pigment choice. The oil you choose also affects not just the drying time, but how much the painting may yellow as well. We'll start with basic paint, made in tiny batches, meant to be used on the day it's mulled. Then, we'll teach you how to make larger batches for storage in a tube or jar. We'll also cover oil-related additives such as siccative, aluminum hydroxide, chalk, stand oil, alkyd, and natural balsams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe recommend taking notes!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAn archived video of this Crash Course will be available for 2 weeks.

Because creating eight fully finished colors in a single afternoon is an incredibly difficult task, our goal for the day is to mix and tube high-quality oil color pastes. You will take these filled tubes home, and they may simply require a quick, final mulling on your own palette before you paint with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Please note: This will take place in our downstairs or mezzanine workshop space which is only accessible by stairs.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRegistration is required to secure a spot.
