Trompe L'oeil Oil Painting 5-Week Course with Cristy Dunn
Discover the art of illusion in this focused trompe l’oeil oil painting class. Over five weeks, you’ll learn how to create convincing depth, texture, and realism as you design a composition using your own found objects—anything from vintage tools to handwritten letters, shells, keepsakes, or everyday items that inspire you.
Through guided demonstrations and individual instruction, you’ll explore essential techniques such as careful drawing, value control, edge handling, and glazing to achieve the striking “fool the eye” effect that defines trompe l’oeil.
Perfect for painters looking to strengthen their realism skills or try a new genre, this class offers a supportive environment to develop your style while working from meaningful objects you bring from home.
Join us on Thursday afternoons and bring your vision—and your treasures to life.
