Oil Paint is a medium we recommend for teenage students and adults as it takes much longer to dry and the application technique as well as the brushes used are quite different than other types of painting. Students at Artfully Yours learn to layer the paint while it is still wet which we call a wet & wet method, as opposed to waiting for it to dry between layers. Oil Paint, like Acrylic, is usually applied dark to light. This means the student will set the lights on top of the darker base color.

Once you have spent time using Oil Paint to create a few images, you may wish to branch out into more abstract art using the multiple mediums you now have in your toolbox.
Our daughter has always loved drawing since being instructed by Laura. She has flourished and developed her skills even further. As parents we appreciate that her love of art can excel and grow as she continues to be encouraged. Very thankful to have found this program!
Art classes at Artfully Yours School of Fine Arts is a great way for kids to express themselves. I really enjoy taking classes with Laura because they teach me so much and have helped me improve so much over the year. It is fun to see all the kids in the class working hard on their pieces and I like to observe the pieces she puts up in the class. Thank you Artfully Yours!
Thank you for supporting Hanna through a wonderful year of art making. I’m so grateful that we have found you and your mom, you have created a wonderful space for artists to grow and I’m glad to be part of it 🙂
Our daughter is going on year 3 at Artfully Yours. She absolutely loves it! It’s been a great experience for her and us as parents. 100% recommend!
My daughter has been taking classes here for the last 4 years. She loves the open-ended nature of the program and now she gets to focus on projects that are interesting to her. Laura gives fantastic guidance as needed while respecting the student’s desire to showcase their own skills. We would definitely recommend Artfully Yours to anyone!
We love the Annual Art Show and seeing the work of emerging artists. The work they do at Artfully Yours to spread the knowledge and joy of art is a wonderful thing we get to share among our family.
It’s so nice to come to the Art Show each year and see all of the amazing talent. Our son is very proud to show off his hard work to his family. He loves going to art class each week and is excited to continue to grow his skills as an artist!
My daughter has been taking art classes for the last 2 years. She really looks forward to her classes each week and I look forward to the wonderful creations she comes home with. The art show this year was wonderful with so many talented artists. Thank you for another great year Laura!
I have been taking classes for 2 years, the ladies are fantastic! My skills have grown and everyday is fun!
Some very engaging work
My daughter started when she was 5 turning 6. She has grown so much in this last year with her skills. She always looks forward to going and picking out new pieces to create. She loves being in class and will definitely be returning!
Such a great program. I love the confidence it has built in my daughter. So much amazing work. Really love the opportunity to see everyone’s creations from the year.
Amazing! Much praise to Laura and Joan for your support and guidance with these kiddos. Absolutely amazing.
Excellent! Lots of quality art!
