Oil
Slow, forgiving, and luminous — the studio's first love.
The medium
Oil is the studio's first love — slow, forgiving, and luminous. It dries over days, not minutes, so you can push a wet edge until it's right.
How we teach it
pigment ground in linseed, or alkyd surface stretched linen or panel layering fat over lean, always cleanup turpentine, then soap
When to choose it
When you want depth. Oil holds light the way water holds a reflection — layer after layer of it, until the surface starts to glow.
