Methods of Oil Painting with Teresa Ricci

Explore the two foundational approaches to oil painting—indirect painting and direct painting—in this three‑week workshop designed to help you understand how each method works and which one best suits your creative style. Whether you’re new to oils or looking to deepen your technique, this course offers hands-on practice, clear demonstrations, and a supportive environment to grow your skills.

Each session focuses on a key method:
- Day One: Underpainting (Indirect Painting) — Learn how to build structure, value, and form through a monochromatic underpainting, the classic foundation of indirect oil painting.
- Day Two: Wet‑on‑Wet (Direct Painting) — Explore the immediacy and expressive qualities of applying wet paint into wet layers to create bold, lively results.
