On Saturday, April 12, the Roxbury Arts Group and The M-ARK Group, Inc. will present a full-day Oil Painting workshop with Marilyn Silver, one of the Cantskills’ most collected painter.

In this reassuring and supportive workshop participants will receive an introduction to the basics of oil painting. With breathtaking landscape views as inspiration, you’ll learn to select your subject matter, plan your composition, set up your palette and handle materials.
Emphasis will be on process rather than product. Individual attention will be paid as well will suggestions on solving painting problems. If you’ve painted before, feel free to bring one or two pieces for additional feedback.
Wear clothes that can withstand paint spatters and expect to head home at the end of the day with new knowledge and confidence to begin the sometimes daunting but ultimately satisfying path to becoming a painter.
