FOR ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE TEXT ME 505-603-1524.

Please bring 4-6 (completely dry) unframed oil paintings for Albert to critique. Albert will choose one and ask you to photograph that painting. With your permission, Albert will put on a retouch varnish to bring up all the colors as they were when wet and make changes to the painting as if it were his own, illustrating how you can achieve a better painting. Then he will ask for the painting to be photographed again. At this point you will have the choice to either keep it as a learning lesson or remove what Albert painted and try to paint it with Albert’s help at the easel. It is a very good learning experience, for one and all.

I have received a number of phone calls and emails asking me to clarify my oil palette not just with colors but the colors and the brands.

Though I do experiment a lot, my initial palette and brand from the very beginning was and basically still is Winsor Newton (WN)… beware I am not referring to their student grade which can be confusing, for the student grade is named Winton Newton. I don’t use them!

I hope this helps you and I’ll see you soon,

Albert
