Paint Anything with Confidence: An Oil Painting Masterclass with Nancy Tankersley

April 4 - April 6 2025

4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
d'Art Center 740 Boush St Norfolk, VA 23510

April 4th, 5th & 6th
9am – 4pm (3 Session Workshop)
Includes Free Art Chat on April 4th 9-10am (open to the public)
$550 (supplies not included, see registration link)
All Skill Levels welcome
Ages: 18+

Class Description:
In this workshop, Nancy will take you from painting still life to landscape and even figures. Concentrating on understanding basic shapes and light sources, you will learn that most representational painting is based on these two concepts and there is no need to limit yourself on subject matter! Drawing is important and she will show you simple ways to check the accuracy of your drawing. You will explore ways of gaining information for your paintings through observational painting, working with photographic reference, journaling and memory exercises.

Nancy works in both oils and acrylic, has years of experience with pastels, and is open to working with artists in any medium including watercolor and gouache. She believes that technique is an ever-evolving journey (and best learned though personal experimentation), but understanding the underlying principles of how to observe and translate your observations to a 2-D surface is key to becoming a good painter. You will work with a limited choice of colors so that you gain mastery over your paint mixing before adding extra pigments to your palette.

“Painting is not simply paint what you know or paint what you see; it’s really paint what you know you SHOULD see!” -Nancy Tankersley
