Phil Bob Borman is an accomplished and well-known painter and sculptor. He has been a professional artist since graduating from Sul Ross University in Alpine, Texas, class of 1986. As a landscape artist, he is at home painting both in the studio and plein air.

You will learn the elements of painting—color, color harmony, values, composition design and more—applying these principles as we paint.  Different techniques will be taught, as well as the use of different tools and their effects.  The goal is for the student to understand these elements so they may further enjoy their journey in painting. 

​

This class will take the "scary" out of painting.  Bring photos of your favorite subjects.  Lots of questions are welcome!

Note: If you plan to use a medium other than oil paints, please switch out applicable substitutes for paints and brushes. If you are unsure, please contact BVA for assistance.
