Oil Painting with Marilyn Eger

Oil Painting Workshop with Marilyn Eger
Create your own masterpiece from a photo of your choice!

Join local artist Marilyn Eger for a hands-on, small-group Oil Painting Workshop at the Lodi Community Art Center. In this two-session class, Marilyn will guide you through every step of creating a finished oil painting based on your own photograph. With personalized instruction in composition, color theory, color mixing, and technique, this workshop is perfect for artists of all levels—from high school students to adults.

What to Expect:

• Tone your canvas with a warm color before the first class so it’s ready to paint.
  
• Bring two photos of your chosen subject—one in color and one in black & white—both sized to match your canvas.
  
• Transfer your image using carbon paper and work alongside Marilyn as she provides individual coaching and demonstrations.
  
• Learn to bring your photo to life with depth, balance, and color harmony.
