Six-week short course aimed at improving techniques and skills in oil painting, suitable for those with some previous experience of oil painting. This class is perfect for anyone who attended a previous evening class or workshop with me, and will build on the skills developed during those workshops. It will be suitable for both beginner-intermediate or confident intermediate oil painters.
We will be diving more deeply into 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.
All materials are provided and the group is kept small to allow for lots of individual support and guidance.
