Brushes out and canvases ready! 🎨 Students dive into Introduction to Painting with Water-Mixable Oils. Over four weeks, they're learning the medium through hands-on exercises, quick demos, and easy-to-follow guidelines. Unlike traditional oils, water-mixable oils require no solvents, making them ideal for home studios and shared spaces like BARN's Small Classroom. Huge thanks to instructor Gigi Godfrey for making it such a great start! Want to see what else is happening in the studio? Check out our upcoming classes on our website.

Helping the show go on! Laurel Marlantes, director of BPA's upcoming production of RED, has been working with Paul Kury in the Woodshop to build the massive frames for canvases the cast will paint live on stage. See the finished products when RED opens on Nov. 13!

About the show: In the charged world of 1950s New York, legendary artist Mark Rothko hires young painter Ken to assist him with a prestigious commission for the Four Seasons Restaurant on Park Avenue. What begins as a working relationship becomes a fierce battle over art, ambition, relevance, legacy, and truth—forcing both men to confront what it means to create, to matter, and ultimately, to be an artist.
