Spring 2018 Workshops
Painting with OilsDiscover the magic of glazing with oil paints to create depth and light in your painting. We will be painting like the old masters by applying coloured transparent layers of paint on to a monochrome painting and working into them to model form with opaque colours and create highlights. Working from still life initially in acrylics as their drying time is quicker. Suitable for beginners and those with some experience. Bring any oil paints or brushes you may have already. You will need to bring a packed lunch.
