The Art Beat Classroom: Painting

Oregon Art Beat is excited to share our extensive archive of Oregon artist’s as content-rich support for educators. In this painting collection, meet painters en plein air and in the studio working on canvas, on plywood and on the sides of buildings. They draw from current events and their own histories discovering some surprising techniques learned through experimentation and practice.
