This is a two-day workshop covering the fundamentals of painting landscapes in oil. We will be learning how to create landscape paintings with depth, strong composition and beautiful colour in oil. The workshop will also cover the fundamentals of painting in oils, including how to use solvents and mediums, as well as techniques and application of paint.
Suitable for beginners or those who have some experience of painting in other mediums. We will be working outdoors from the landscape at Badaguish and the local area where possible so this is a great opportunity to try en plein air painting, with all equipment provided.
The Details
Our studio for the weekend will be the conference conservatory space at Badaguish Outdoor Centre, near Aviemore in the Cairngorms National Park. Badaguish is situated in a woodland clearing, with views of the Cairngorm mountains. We will be making the most of the location and will be painting outdoors from the landscape (weather-permitting), as well as spending time working in the studio. More information about Badaguish Outdoor Centre can be found here.
Accommodation is not provided, but there are several accommodation options on-site at Badaguish, including heated camping pods for individuals and couples, and forest lodges for larger groups. These can be booked on their website here
