Learn the fundamental painting techniques in 2 weeks!
This course is required for all students. It is the foundational training for all subsequent courses at the Isabel O'Neil Studio. Students learn techniques including surface preparation, paint application, antiquing, waxing, and varnishing on practice boards and execute them on a small piece of furniture, commonly a chair or table.
By the end of the course the apprentice has rendered an expertly-painted piece of furniture, its best features carefully accented, and its surface enhanced with the patina of gentle aging. Most importantly, an awareness of the discipline of craftsmanship and a keen appreciation for detail has been fostered.
