Paint the West:
Oil Painting Class

Paint the West! is a beginner-friendly oil painting course held at the Trade Oak Cliff art studio in Dallas, with a different landscape of the American West painted each week to explore the lighting, textures and colors of the national parks. Subjects across the series include a desert monolith, aspens beside a mountain lake, a rocky coastline and a cactus desert at sunset. Step-by-step demonstrations and individual feedback cover color mixing, layering, perspective and style, and the class suits complete beginners as well as painters wanting to improve. This listing covers the session on Tuesday, November 24, 2026. Registration for the full series with early-bird places is available, and individual class sessions can be registered for separately, with that registration opening on October 19.
