Have you always wanted to try working with oils, but feel daunted? Then try my fun 3-day intensive workshop Get to Grips with Oils that takes place on 6th - 8th September 2023. It will teach you everything you need to know about using these slippery but extremely satisfying paints!
About the course
With clear instruction, demonstrations and practical exercises, you will gain:
- An understanding of how 'Oil' behaves differently than other types of paint and how to control it
- A range of oil painting techniques, including; staining, glazing, impasto, and sfumato (fine blending)
- The confidence you need to get started with this rich and rewarding medium and the knowledge to approach it fearlessly!
NB: Suitable for most abilities, although SOME PAINTING EXPERIENCE is required for this workshop. As a minimum you should have an understanding of basic colour mixing and paint application. ALSO... please note that we will be using low odour solvents and other solvent based materials during this workshop, if you have any health concerns or are unsure about anything please contact us for a chat before booking!
