PAINT FAST IN OILS OR ACRYLICS
with Instructor Nancy Mitchell
WHEN:
2 HALF-DAYS
Monday & Tuesday (10am to 1pm)
April 14, 15, 2025
WHERE:
Art League Academy
(106 Cordillo Parkway, Hilton Head Island, SC)
During this class, we will focus on how to create full spectrum compositions. We will use detail to create interest in the foreground and atmospheric perspective to create distance in the background. The object of this course is to learn to paint large enough to allow yourself to loosen up and enjoy the process.
It is important to bring a large canvas, nothing smaller than a 24" x 30", however, bring one as large as you are comfortable with if you want to bring bigger! You'll also bring a few photographs you are excited about and would enjoy painting. The object of this class is to paint large to enable yourself to loosen up and not be so fussy over details. We will use under-painting to speed up the process and overcome the intimidation factor of that big white canvas.
Please visit my website to view my work and feel free to call or email prior to or after the class with any questions.
I am looking forward to painting with you!

| Instructor: | Nancy Mitchell |
| Instructor Bio: |  NANCY MITCHELL has enjoyed a career as an independent working artist in the Lowcountry for the last forty years. Diversity has always been the key, as Nancy paints murals and faux finishes in private homes and businesses, as well as landscapes in oils. Montage limited editions of Hilton Head Island and Savannah, as well as marsh scenes, seascapes, and additional subjects, are available in print. Although Nancy has a traditional degree in Fine Art, she credits private study with Charleston artist Martin Ahrens as having the most impact on her painting style. Nancy is now passing these techniques on to her own students in her studio, as well as at Art League Academy. Mitchell taught the class Paint Fast in Oils for three years at Art League Academy and plans to teach again starting in 2025. Commissioned paintings are one of Nancy’s specialties; she prides herself on really listening to her clients so she can achieve a perfect balance between their desires and her own creativity.
