Oil Painting Weekend Workshop

Two-day workshop covering the fundamentals of oil painting, including how to use solvents and mediums, colour mixing and techniques and application of paint.

Come along and be guided through the process of oil painting, in a small group, with all materials included so you can try this medium without having to purchase your own equipment first. With two days, we have the time to dive a bit deeper into the study of oil painting, with plenty of time for practise and experimentation.

Suitable for beginners or those who have some experience of painting in other mediums.

Gift vouchers available - just send me an email if you are giving this workshop as a gift and I will email you a printable voucher for the workshop.
