Learn to Paint with Oil 

We are pleased to present a basic in-person class taught by Eric Alexander Santoli, host of "Eric en Plein Air" on PBS, at our new Industry City showroom in Brooklyn, NY,  the first three Saturdays in June 2026!

The final week, Saturday June 27, will be taught by us, the founders of Vasari Classic Artists' Oil Colors, Stephen Salek and Gail Spiegel.

Just show up! All materials will be provided at no cost, including the canvas, brushes, and Eric's selection of our handcrafted colors, in a studio setting during the three hour workshop, from 12:00 noon to 3:00 PM on Saturday afternoons. Limited to 10 students per class.

Select a date in June to register at a cost of $100 for this introduction to painting with oil colors, working from a still life set-up, that includes demonstrations and one-on-one instruction. And the dynamic environment of Industry City!
