SUMMARY:Oil Painting with Andrea Gianchiglia — July–August 2026
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\nAbout the Class\nOil painting has a richness that no other medium quite matches — and this summer\, you’ll learn to use it with intention. Artist and instructor Andrea Gianchiglia leads this 6-week series designed to build real\, foundational painting skills from the ground up. \nEach session focuses on core techniques: color mixing\, light and shadow\, composition\, brushwork\, and understanding your materials. You’ll work from photographs — either Andrea’s curated selection or images from your own collection — so your work stays personal and meaningful. Every week includes a live demo tackling a specific challenge\, whether that’s subject matter\, technique\, or a particular painting element. You can use the demo as a direct exercise or as a reference while continuing your own project — the pace is yours to set. \nThis is an opportunity to study with an instructor experienced in oil painting in an intimate\, small-group setting. Whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or looking to sharpen skills you already have\, Andrea meets you where you are… \nTuesdays\, July 14 – August 18 | 10am–12:30pm | 6 sessions | All levels welcome \nMaterials\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOil paint colors — Titanium White\, Viridian\, Burnt Sienna\, Yellow Ochre\, Sap Green\, Alizarin Crimson\, Phthalo Blue\, Cadmium Yellow\, Ultramarine Blue\, Cadmium Red \nOptional: Portland Warm Grey and Portland Cool Grey (made by Gamblin)\, Ice Blue (Richeson Shiva Series)\, Kings Blue by Michael Harding \nThere are many brands to choose from. The instructor recommends Winsor & Newton or Grumbacher. Winsor & Newton has two quality grades: Professional Artist and student grade. The student grade is called Winton. The instructor recommends the Artist grade — the quality is better\, though the price is slightly higher. \nAcrylic paint — one tube of Yellow Ochre \nPalette (used for mixing paint). The instructor will go over different types of palettes in class. If you’d like\, you can wait until the first class to decide which type you prefer (use a paper palette pad in the meantime). A large wooden palette or a piece of clear glass also works great. \nPalette box — Used to store your wet palette after class and between painting sessions. Available at Michaels — it is a Tupperware-like box with a blue top and white bottom. \nTurpenoid (small container) \nLiquin by Winsor & Newton — Find this in the “mediums” section. \nBrushes — A variety of sizes recommended. Synthetic brushes are suggested for beginners. Brush variety packs with assorted sizes are available in the brush section. \nPalette knife — Metal is preferred over plastic. \nSurface to paint on — The instructor will demonstrate various surfaces in class. To start\, a canvas board or stretched canvas is recommended. Size is up to the student; the instructor suggests 11″ x 14″ to 16″ x 20″. \nSketchbook and sketching supplies — pencils\, charcoal\, erasers\, etc. \nSmall containers for painting medium — Art stores sell small metal cups that attach to your palette; Mason jars work great as well. Please bring two — one for the Liquin and one for the Turpenoid. \n“The Masters” brush cleaner & preserver — a small tub of brush cleaner in a beige-colored container. \nAny questions? Email Andrea at andrea@agillustration.com. \nCancellation Policy\nStudents cancelling at least one week prior to the start of class will receive a full refund. Within one week of the start date\, tuition is non-refundable\, as we must cover materials and instructor costs. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n\n\n	\n		\n				\n			\n\n	\n	\n\n		\n			\n					Jacqueline Pidgeon Pankuck\n				\n\n		\n		\n			[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″] \n\n\n\n[/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text css=””] \nJackie Pankuck comes from a long line of Irish “makers” of arts and crafts. Her mother and grandmother were master seamstresses\, whom she watched intently as a child in Ireland — instilling in her a lifelong love of creating with her hands. After leaving  the corporate world\, Jackie opened her own business as a master seamstress\, designing and crafting wedding gowns for clients. \nIn 2017\, Jackie focused her time and studies on drawing and watercolor painting\, working under some amazing teachers from around the world. Painting\, in particular\, has been\, and will continue to be a constant and wonderful journey for her. \nJackie paints out of her own private studio in Pottersville\, New Jersey and teaches watercolor at A Maker’s Circle\, also in Pottersville.

SUMMARY:Oil Painting with Andrea Gianchiglia — July–August 2026
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\nAbout the Class\nOil painting has a richness that no other medium quite matches — and this summer\, you’ll learn to use it with intention. Artist and instructor Andrea Gianchiglia leads this 6-week series designed to build real\, foundational painting skills from the ground up. \nEach session focuses on core techniques: color mixing\, light and shadow\, composition\, brushwork\, and understanding your materials. You’ll work from photographs — either Andrea’s curated selection or images from your own collection — so your work stays personal and meaningful. Every week includes a live demo tackling a specific challenge\, whether that’s subject matter\, technique\, or a particular painting element. You can use the demo as a direct exercise or as a reference while continuing your own project — the pace is yours to set. \nThis is an opportunity to study with an instructor experienced in oil painting in an intimate\, small-group setting. Whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or looking to sharpen skills you already have\, Andrea meets you where you are… \nTuesdays\, July 14 – August 18 | 10am–12:30pm | 6 sessions | All levels welcome \nMaterials\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOil paint colors — Titanium White\, Viridian\, Burnt Sienna\, Yellow Ochre\, Sap Green\, Alizarin Crimson\, Phthalo Blue\, Cadmium Yellow\, Ultramarine Blue\, Cadmium Red \nOptional: Portland Warm Grey and Portland Cool Grey (made by Gamblin)\, Ice Blue (Richeson Shiva Series)\, Kings Blue by Michael Harding \nThere are many brands to choose from. The instructor recommends Winsor & Newton or Grumbacher. Winsor & Newton has two quality grades: Professional Artist and student grade. The student grade is called Winton. The instructor recommends the Artist grade — the quality is better\, though the price is slightly higher. \nAcrylic paint — one tube of Yellow Ochre \nPalette (used for mixing paint). The instructor will go over different types of palettes in class. If you’d like\, you can wait until the first class to decide which type you prefer (use a paper palette pad in the meantime). A large wooden palette or a piece of clear glass also works great. \nPalette box — Used to store your wet palette after class and between painting sessions. Available at Michaels — it is a Tupperware-like box with a blue top and white bottom. \nTurpenoid (small container) \nLiquin by Winsor & Newton — Find this in the “mediums” section. \nBrushes — A variety of sizes recommended. Synthetic brushes are suggested for beginners. Brush variety packs with assorted sizes are available in the brush section. \nPalette knife — Metal is preferred over plastic. \nSurface to paint on — The instructor will demonstrate various surfaces in class. To start\, a canvas board or stretched canvas is recommended. Size is up to the student; the instructor suggests 11″ x 14″ to 16″ x 20″. \nSketchbook and sketching supplies — pencils\, charcoal\, erasers\, etc. \nSmall containers for painting medium — Art stores sell small metal cups that attach to your palette; Mason jars work great as well. Please bring two — one for the Liquin and one for the Turpenoid. \n“The Masters” brush cleaner & preserver — a small tub of brush cleaner in a beige-colored container. \nAny questions? Email Andrea at andrea@agillustration.com. \nCancellation Policy\nStudents cancelling at least one week prior to the start of class will receive a full refund. Within one week of the start date\, tuition is non-refundable\, as we must cover materials and instructor costs. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n\n\n	\n		\n				\n			\n\n	\n	\n\n		\n			\n					Jacqueline Pidgeon Pankuck\n				\n\n		\n		\n			[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″] \n\n\n\n[/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text css=””] \nJackie Pankuck comes from a long line of Irish “makers” of arts and crafts.
