Five-week short course covering the fundamentals of oil painting in a small group.
We will be exploring principles of painting such as colour theory and composition as well as techniques and methods which are specific to oil painting such as glazing, working ‘alla prima’ vs layered painting and the use of mediums. We will be painting a wide variety of subjects.
This short course is suitable for beginners or those who have a little experience in other mediums. All materials are provided so it is an excellent opportunity to have a go at oil painting before purchasing your own equipment.
